Manny Pacquiano About To Quit Boxing And Move Into Full Time Politics

Manny Pacquiao says it is the right time for him to walk away from boxing but admits he will feel sad when he does hang up his gloves after his final fight with Timothy Bradley in April.

Pacquiao has vowed to quit the sport following the final part of his trilogy with Bradley and wants to move into politics full time and help the people in his native Philippines.

The 37-year-old is already a congressman in his home country and is aiming to secure a seat in the senate at the upcoming elections.

'I started boxing all those years ago to help my family, my mother. I want to end my 

boxing career now because my desire in my heart is to help my people, my country.

'The greatest achievements in life are not what we do ourselves, but for other people. Life is short. It's important we love each other and show unity. It's a great opportunity to have this last fight.'
