Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao has admitted that he will stick with his decision to retire after a last bout against Timothy Bradley next week, but he also refused to rule out a possible return in boxing ring.
Earlier, Manny Pacquiao had confirmed that he would call curtains to his illustrious career in order to concentrate on politics after fighting his last bout against Bradley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on April 9.
Pacquiao, who is hoping to win a senate seat in May elections in Philippines, said that he was looking forward to serve the people of the country, the Express Tribune reported.
Refusing to rule out a possible return, the 37-year-old added that he was just focusing on preparing for his farewell bout at the moment.
Pacquiao has won 57 fights and lost only six bouts in his professional career of more than 20 years.
