Filipino Manny Pacquiao, Christian boxer and senator announced his retirement from boxing in a video posted on his social networks on Tuesday, in which the 42-year-old Pacquiao, he professed his
faith and gratitude to God, stating that his boxing career would not have been possible without the Lord.

He holds the record as the only boxer with 12 world titles in four different decades. He is also the oldest fighter to win a world title and the only fighter in history to win titles in eight division weight classes.
“God is good all the time. I give all the glory to God. I always believe that in God, all things are possible. Without Him I am nothing. He was the one who gave me the ability to train and do all these things. The Lord has given me overflowing blessings,” Pacquiao said in the video.
He thanked his family and many others he said have mentored him throughout his career. He recognized his training team, his former promoter, the media and his supporters.
