Manny Pacquiao made his last ring appearance on August 21 against the WBA welterweight ‘super’ champ, Yordenis Ugas. To everyone’s surprise, this turned out to be an embarrassing bout for the boxing icon, as he failed to end up on the winning side. Nothing went in his favor from the first gong and even after putting in a tremendous amount of work, Pacquiao couldn’t get the desired results.
Moreover, boxing purists and fans expected this to be his last boxing test, post which he’d announce his name for Presidency polls in the Philippines’ 2022 elections.
Speaking exclusively on DWIZ, the 42-year-old spilled the beans on whether he’d run for the Presidency elections. He said, “Once I run [for office], many people will get hit.”

Pacquiao’s name for President has been surfacing over the years, and in a few weeks from now, the fans will get to see what the boxing legend decides. In fact, ‘Pacman’ even asserted that he’d reach a decision by October 1.
Pacquiao, in his last fight, entered the ring after a long two-year hiatus. Earlier, he was all set to face the WBC and IBF welterweight champ, Errol Spence Jr., but unfortunately, ‘The Truth’ suffered a retinal eye injury and was forced to withdraw from this contest.
