On September 29, Manny Pacquiao announced his departure from the sport of boxing. After winning 62 of his 72 professional bouts and becoming a champion in eight different divisions, Manny Pacquiao is now finally closing this 26-year-long chapter in his life. Many were surprised when Pacquiao agreed to fight Yordenis Ugas in August. Even at 42, he looked strong, fast, and agile; his form was perhaps even better than most still in their ‘prime’. However, his age definitely factored into the picture in his last fight. As a result, the Cuban WBA (Super) welterweight champion retained his title and defeated Pacman via unanimous decision. Despite being retired from the sport, the champion in Manny Pacquiao simply does not know a life without challenges and competition. Among some other new significant additions to his life, Manny Pacquiao [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/manny-pacquiao/] recently shared that he is now all set to face chess legend, Magnus Carlsen [https://www.chess.com/players/magnus-carlsen] in a charity exhibition challenge on the ‘Meltwater Champions Chess Tour’ show. He announced on Twitter – “I’ve fought some tough opponents in the ring, but I’ve never faced anyone like @magnuscarlsen [https://twitter.com/MagnusCarlsen]in a game of chess. He’s a true champ. Wish me the best for October 1, when I appear on the @champchesstour [https://twitter.com/ChampChessTour]show!“. MANNY PACQUIAO HAS A NEW GOAL IN LIFE AND IT’S MASSIVE Manny Pacquiao is now ready to focus on the next phase of his life. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-who-won-ggg-vs-canelo-1-results-scorecards-punch-stats-purses-and-full-fight/] The boxing legend from the Philippines has recently announced candidacy for the 2022 presidential elections. Manny Pacquiao [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/manny-pacquiao/] is a huge name in his home country and stands a solid chance at replacing Rodrigo Duterte, the current President. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Manny-Pacquiao-Set-to-Launch-Pacpay-to-Connect-Global-Influencers-Brands-and-Fans-1440x564_c.jpg] Apart from just attaining excellence inside the squared circle, ‘Pacman’ has also been serving as an active Senator since 2016. It seems the 42-year-old is viewing this as yet another challenge in his career. Along with his announcement, he added that he is a fighter, both in and out of the ring. “I’m a fighter and will always be a fighter, inside and outside of the ring. All my life, I haven’t backed down from any fight. Nothing is impossible if it’s ordained by God,” said [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-09-19/philippine-boxer-pacquiao-announces-bid-for-presidency-in-2022] Manny Pacquiao.
