Manny Pacquiao recently rediscovered his religious roots and it’s changed his perspective on life and boxing. He says he’ll be retiring soon because of what God told him in a dream.
“I will not stay long in boxing because He said: ‘You have done enough. You have made yourself famous but this is harmful,’” Pacquiao reportedly told dzMM radio in an interview Monday.
Pac Man is scheduled to fight Timothy Bradley on June 9th in Las Vegas. It may be his last fight.
Pacquiao was talking retirement last month because he believed hurting people counters his religious beliefs. He even gave up cockfighting, gambling, and clubbing to cleanse his soul. But now that he’s been faced with the direct word of God, continuing his fighting career may be even more difficult.
