Senator and boxing legend Manny Pacquiao ay kompirmadong lalabanan si UFC superstar Conor McGregor sa year 2021, pahayag ng kanyang kampo.
Wala pang tiyak na petsa kung kailan sa susunod na taon, pero ang kikitain ng senador ay ibibigay niya na pantulong laban sa COVID-19. Ito rin ang magiging huling laban ni Pacquiao bilang boksingero.
“Our lawyers are finalizing all the confidential details, but both fighters are getting ready for this one epic last boxing fight,” ayon sa pahayag ni Jayke Joson, special assistant ng senador.
“For the sake of all the Filipino Covid-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year. The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic.”
“Malaking portion ng kikitain ni Sen MP sa kanyang susunod na laban eh e donate nya sa mga victim ng COVID.”
“But our beloved Senator doesn’t want to talk about boxing since we are in the middle of the pandemic and this is not the right time for it. His main focus right now is to help here and there, providing relief, shelter, money and food, among other necessities,” dagdag pa ni Joson
Sa tweet ni McGregor ini-announce niya ang pagbabalik sa ring ngunit pinag-uusapan pa ang detalye.
“I’m boxing Manny Pacquiao next in the Middle East,” pahayag ni McGregor.
