MANILA: Manny Pacquiao, who retired from boxing last year for a tilt at the Philippines presidency, told AFP on Tuesday that he is considering an exhibition fight in Saudi Arabia in January.
"We will just start discussions," Pacquiao, who previously ruled out a return to professional boxing, said by telephone from his home city of General Santos where he is preparing for a charity bout against a South Korean YouTuber. "I will prepare in the same way I train for a real fight," Pacquiao said of his charity match against martial arts YouTuber DK Yoo on Dec 10 in Seoul.
Yoo has more than 650,000 subscribers on YouTube, where he promotes his self-styled form of martial arts called"warfare combat system".
