Boxing legend, Manny Pacquiao, has officially confirmed his retirement from the sport.

The eight-division world champion made the announcement on Wednesday.

“As I hang up my boxing gloves, I would like to thank the whole world, especially the Filipino people for supporting Manny Pacquiao. Goodbye boxing.

“It is difficult for me to accept that my time as a boxer is over. Today I am announcing my retirement,”

The 42-year old said in a video posted on his Facebook page.

Pacquiao finished his 26-year career with 62 victories, eight losses and two draws.

Of those 62 wins, 39 came by knockout and 23 by decision.
