MANILA, Philippines ? Manny Pacquiao?s celebrity mom, Mommy Dionisia, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that her son is planning to retire from boxing soon.
?Pasalamat ako sa Panginoon, maraming-maraming salamat sa D’yos at magreretiro na siya,? Dionisia said.
Pacquiao earlier announced that he might hang his boxing gloves soon, especially after accepting the Catholic Church?s challenge to become a ?Bible ambassador.?
Pacquiao, who is scheduled to face off against American boxer Timothy Bradley on June 9, is considered by many as already having achieved a lot in boxing.
Pacquiao has won 8 world titles in 8 different weight classes, a feat no other boxer has achieved.
Apart from being a Bible ambassador, he is also pre-occupied with his work as Sarangani congressman and as TV show host. ? With a report from Chat Ansagay, ABS-CBN General Santos City
