Former Senator and boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is teaming up in a big action movie with American Korean actor known as Don Lee.

The film has now be confirmed to be commissioned and will go ahead.

It is understood that Lee will look to establish a studio in the Philippines as that is where the film will be filmed.

The film will feature boxing elements.

Pacquiao next month in Japan will take part in a real three round boxing match in RIZIN.

The above movie news growing Pacquiao’s star further in Asia in both his native home country and across the wider Asia region.

It is thought if Pacquiao does well and wins next month in RIZIN he will box for the WBC world title at the end of the year against Mario Barrios.

A tough opponent much younger than Pacquiao but certainly a fight that will capture fans’ imaginations.

Pacquiao must first come through his RIZIN foe next month in Japan.
