JAKARTA - Manny Pacquiao doesn't want to decide whether he will return to professional boxing or not. He will wait for the results of his ex-Hybis duel with DK Yoo. However, PacMan takes the contest very seriously, as if he will face Mike Tyson.
One of the Filipino fighter collaborators, Sean Gibbons, said the possibility of Pacquiao returning to professional boxing did not rule out the possibility, as the duel against DK Yoo would be the perfect test to see if his quality was intact after more than a year without a fight.
"Everything Pacquiao says is he wants to see what happens on December 10 (when he confronts DK Yoo), he wants to test himself to see how he feels, because he's training like he's going against Mike Tyson."
Champions in 8 different divisions, Pacquiao last fought in August 2021 when he lost to Yordenis Ugas in 12 rounds in WBA's super welterweight title fight.
"Manny looks a little like Floyd (Mayweather). He still feels like he has a lot to give, he still wants to fight and do a lot, but I think this exhibition is great for fighters like Floyd, and like Manny," continuedeo.
"I, as a fan, I want to see Manny, I want to be around Manny. I miss the days going to Griffith Park and with 200 people, with 100 people at home, 80 at the gym," he added.
Pacman's exhibition fight is scheduled for December 10 in Seoul and the money he has earned will be used to help rebuild homes in South Korea.
In addition, the six-round battle in which each two-minute round will also be an opportunity for the former world champion to test himself as another boxer.
