Manny Pacquiao stands with Roberto Duran

Roberto Duran, the revered boxing icon, is currently grappling with a significant health challenge. He was hospitalized due to a serious heart rhythm disorder known as a complete atrioventricular (AV) block. This condition, where the electrical connection between the heart’s chambers is impeded, necessitated the urgent implantation of a pacemaker. It’s a delicate situation, reflecting the vulnerability even the toughest warriors face outside the combat zone. But the implantation was successful, as confirmed by Duran’s family on his Instagram.

Transitioning from this stark reality, Manny Pacquiao’s voice resonated with warmth and solidarity. He reached out with a message filled with hope and faith. “Buenas noches Roberto. This is Manny, Manny Pacquiao,” he began, his words bridging the distance between them. “I’m just wishing and praying for you for a recovery. I know that God is full of time and all things are possible with God. Just believe and have faith in God and everything is going to be fine. Thank you. Enjoy.” His sentiments reflect a deep-rooted belief in resilience and recovery, echoing the collective hope of the sporting community and fans worldwide.
