Manny Pacquiao Returns to the Ring

Manny Pacquiao returns to the ring. But in the world of boxing, rumors are always the order of the day and since then many have speculated about a possible return of the Filipino boxing superstar.

Manny Pacquiao last stepped into a boxing ring almost a year ago. The Filipino wanted to focus completely on the politics of his country and, after losing the elections, rumors began of his return to the ring. 

However, his trainer and friend Freddie Roach were pessimistic about a possible return to boxing.

However, in the loss to Yordenis Ugás in August 2021, Roach said that Pacman’s career was over and that he would not fight again due to his family being concerned about his health. “He is done with boxing. 

I don’t think he has anything else to prove. His wife and the rest of his family don’t want him to come back. His wife is denied, he doesn’t want her to come back. 

If he wants to come back and fight again, I hope he chooses me as his trainer. 

If he calls me, I’ll tell him that he doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. 

There are so many more people that he feels he doesn’t need to go back to.

 He has already been there. What else does he have to prove to his followers? 

If he is willing to come back, I would like to help him and wish him the best of luck,” said the former trainer of Manny Pacquiao.

During the fight with Ugas, it was evident that time had taken its toll on Pacquiao and that he was no longer the same fighter.

Return Confirmed

The ‘Pac-Man’ himself has confirmed his return to the ring through a video on social networks.

South Korean influencer, martial arts instructor, and YouTuber DK Yoo will be Manny Pacquiao’s next rival. The fighters will meet on December 10 in an exhibition match.

Who is DK Yoo?

DK Yoo is a self-called martial artist; in his videos, you can see that he masters some elements of Jeet Kune Do, Systema, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun, among others. But his specialty is his own combat system, the WCS (Warfare Combat System).

DK is known for his seminars and combat courses and for being a well-known YouTuber with just over half a million subscribers on his channel.

On his website, DK states that he developed the WCS as a highly efficient way to align and control the human mind and body.

This is not the first time that DK has stepped into a ring to fight a professional. Last year he faced former UFC fighter Bradley Scott in a 6-round pay-per-view boxing match.

The fight against Scott has been harshly criticized as the few videos found on the internet, all on DK Yoo’s own channel, are highly edited and show only the highlights that make Yoo look good.

Those who have managed to see the raw video claim that Yoo was completely dominated during the 6 rounds and that he failed to land a single good punch.

Yoo has been in charge of sharing details of the fight against the former world champion of eight different divisions. Both met recently to sign the contract for their fight and later shared the event’s official poster.

Pacquiao’s current life

At 41, Pacquiao remains fit, but he no longer follows the same training regimen.

 In fact, his ex-trainer shared that his lifestyle has changed a lot, even though he still visits the boxing gym to see his son.

 “Right now, he is traveling. He likes to go to different cities and always takes his whole family with him.

 He loves to travel and is doing something that he really enjoys. His son is fighting outside my gym. It’s good to have it there. He’s not Manny, but he tries,” Roach said.

Bets for the special event

Although this is an exhibition fight, it is a fact that there will be several betting markets available; after all, it is the return of one of the best fighters of recent times.
