Philippine boxing legend Manny Pacquiao announced on Wednesday that he is retiring from boxing. The Presidential hopeful aims to replace President Rodrigo Duterte. "It is difficult for me to accept that my time for me as a boxer is over," the 42-year-old eight-division world champion and senator said in a video message on Twitter. He fought his last fight against Cuban Yordenis Ugas in Las Vegas, which he lost.
