MANILA, May 10 (Reuters) – Former boxing champion Manny Pacquiao on Tuesday conceded defeat in the Philippines presidential election, after the poll body’s unofficial tally shows Ferdinand Marcos Jr winning the polls by a wide margin.
“As a boxer and athlete, I know how to accept defeat,” Pacquiao said in a Facebook announcement.
The only man to hold world titles in eight different divisions, Pacquiao retired from boxing in September to focus on his campaign.
