Boxer Emmanuel ‘Jimuel’ Pacquiao Jr., son of the greatest boxer of all time Sen. Manny Pacquiao, will shortly join his second amateur match, according to promoter Tom Loeffler on Monday.
Pacquiao, 21, won his first amateur match in the United States in March, defeating Mexican-American Andres Rosales at San Diego’s House of Boxing Gym.
He’s been training at Wild Card Gym with Freddie Roach and Marvin Somodio, two Hall of Fame trainers.
“Congratulations to my son (Emmanuel Jr.) on fighting and winning his first U.S. amateur fight at junior welterweight! I’m so proud of you. #TeamPacquiao,” Pacquiao Sr. wrote in a post.
Promoter Tom Loeffler then includes Pacquiao Jr. with his 360 promotion, tweeting that Pacquiao Jr. will soon enter the ring again in Hollywood Fight Nights in May, announced on Sunday.
