Manny Pacquiao poses for fans
Philippines boxing legend Manny Pacquiao recently returned to the boxing ring in Japan for an exhibition bout against kickboxer Rukiya Anpo. The fight, which ended in a draw, showcased Pacquiao’s warrior spirit despite his 45 years of age. However, Anpo seemed to have the upper hand in all three rounds, as noted by various observers.
While some questioned Pacquiao’s level of training for the exhibition, others expressed concerns about his performance and potential future fights. Following the bout, Pacquiao expressed interest in having a ‘real fight,’ hinting at a possible return to the ring.
Notably, Ryan Garcia made a surprise appearance at the event, challenging both Anpo and Pacquiao to a potential exhibition match. Garcia, who has faced suspension for testing positive for banned substances, could add an interesting dynamic to the boxing scene if such a fight were to materialize.
Anpo appeared dominant in all three rounds.
