Manny Pacquiao plans to open sports academy in Dubai next year
Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has been appointed as the new vice president of the International Boxing Association (IBA), a move the organization believes will usher in a "Golden Era" for the sport.
In his new role, Pacquiao stated his primary focus will be on sports development, particularly for young athletes.
The IBA aims to professionalize the sport, expand opportunities for athletes, and ensure boxing remains free from political interference.
Pacquiao also revealed plans to launch the Manny Pacquiao Sports Academy, which will cater to a variety of sports, not just boxing, as a collaboration between his ideas and the IBA's vision.
The academy is planned to open in Dubai, potentially early next year, with further branches anticipated in other countries.
