The boxing world is buzzing with anticipation as the next generation of the legendary Pacquiao family prepares to step into the professional ring.
Jimuel Pacquiao, the eldest son of eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, is set to make his professional boxing debut on November 29th, headlining a card promoted by his father's own Manny Pacquiao Promotions (MPP).
The event marks the U.S. promotional debut for MPP, signalling a new chapter for the boxing family.
The 24-year-old Jimuel will face fellow debutant Brendan Lally in a highly anticipated co-main event at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California.
Jimuel's journey into professional boxing has been closely monitored, with the young fighter honing his skills under the watchful eye of his iconic father.
He has been training diligently at the famed Wild Card Boxing Gym in Los Angeles, a familiar stomping ground for his father, and has been guided by Marvin Somodio, a long-time assistant to Manny's legendary trainer, Freddie Roach.
"It's a big moment for me, and I'm very excited to finally make my professional debut. My father has been a huge inspiration and a great mentor. I've learned so much from him, not just about boxing, but about dedication and hard work," said Jimuel.
Manny Pacquiao, who has been present at many of his son's training sessions, expressed his pride and offered words of wisdom.
"I'm very proud of Jimuel. He has the heart of a fighter, and he has worked very hard for this. I told him to focus, train hard, and always stay humble. This is just the beginning of his journey."
