Manny Pacquiao traveled to South Korea to promote his exhibition bout with martial artist DK Yoo.
The retired boxing star, together with DK Yoo, spoke during a news conference for the December 10 charity fight (December 11, Philippine time).
The former senator agreed to compete with DK Yoo in Korea to build houses for the Philippines’ needy.
A portion of the revenues will also be donated to war-torn Ukraine.
Pacquiao, boxing’s only eight-division world champion, will face Yoo at the Korea International Exhibition Center in Goyang, just northwest of Seoul.
The next exhibition will be fought over six two-minute rounds under boxing rules. Both boxers will be equipped with 10-ounce gloves.
Pacman vs. DK Yoo is an anticipated exhibition boxing battle between former eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao and martial artist/YouTuber DK Yoo. The bout will take place on December 10, 2022.
Pacman stated during the press conference:
“As of now, my mind is already retired. This is just a charity event to help the people. What’s important is I’m always in good shape. I will work hard and make sure my condition is 100% so I can still show off my skills on the ring.”
