Pacquiao set to retire after one more fight next year
Print Edition
Filipino Manny Pacquiao, a winner of world titles in eight different weight categories, said he is likely to retire from the sport after one more fight next year.
Pacquiao, 36, last fought in May when he lost to American Floyd Mayweather Jr in a long-awaited bout between the sport’s best two fighters. Pacquiao underwent surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff after the fight and had been expected to retire with little left to prove after achieving his long-stated goal of getting in the ring with Mayweather. “I think I’m ready. I’ve been in boxing for more than 20 years,” he said in an interview with ABS-CBN yesterday. The Filipino said he wanted one more bout but it is unlikely to be against Mayweather, who has announced plans to retire after beating Andre Berto in September to improve his record to 49 wins and no losses.
