Manny Pacquiao’s days in the boxing ring are over.
After an incredible 26-year career spanning from 108 lbs up to 154 lbs, the only eight-division world champion in the sport’s history has announced his retirement from the sport. This does coincide with his attempt to run for president of The Philippines but nevertheless is something that had to come sooner or later.
“I’m amazed at what I have done,” the 42-year-old Pacquiao said in his retirement video. “Hold the record of being the only boxer to hold world titles in four different decades and become the oldest fighter to win a world welterweight title, amazing accomplishment that I never thought I would accomplish.
