Paquiao's is planning his last fight
Manny Pacquiao is planning to end his boxing career with a fight on April 9 2016 to focus on his political career, Bob Arum told to espn.com.
Pacquiao and promoter Bob Arum had discussed the plans for the final fight last week in New York, where Pacquiao recieved the Asia Game Changer award at the United Nations presented by Asia Society according to yahoo sports.
"I'm telling you what he told me last week at dinner in New York," - Arum told the website. "We talked very seriously" and Pacquiao said "Bob, hopefully, by the middle of May I will have been elected senator in the Philippines and at that point I cannot engage in boxing because I need to focus on the senate and I have to be in attendance."
"Manny told me this fight on April 9 will be his last fight."
As of now, there is still no name for the opponent, althought some mentioned by arum's are Amir Khan of England - former unified junior welterweight titleholder and Terence Crawford unbeaten junior welterweight champion.
