Manny Pacquiao has confirmed his fight with
Timothy Bradley in the spring will be his last fight
before he hangs up his gloves to focus on his
political career.
Pacquiao will fight Bradley for a third time on
April 9 after losing to his biggest rival Floyd
Mayweather in boxing’s richest fight in history
last May. Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum said
last week he did not believe his fighter would
retire after fighting Bradley, but the 37-year-old
set the record straight on Monday night.
“I am retiring from boxing to concentrate on
my political career,” said Pacquiao. “My
fight with Timothy Bradley will be my last.”
He also dismissed reports he would be
delaying retirement plans in the hope of
tempting undefeated Mayweather out of
retirement for a rematch. “I did not say
anything like that. Nobody interviewed me
about that. I will retire after my April 9
fight,” he insisted.
