Emmanuel “Jimuel” Pacquiao Jr., the eldest son of Manny Pacquiao, is finally stepping into the ring as a professional. He will make his debut in the co-main event of Manny Pacquiao Promotions’ first US fight card on November 29 (November 30 in Manila) at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. He faces fellow first-timer Brendan Lally.
Jimuel said he has waited a long time for this. He thanked his father for pushing him to stay focused and for showing him what real work looks like. He has been training at Wild Card Gym since 2021 to prepare for this moment.
Manny Pacquiao said he’s proud of his son’s effort and discipline. He reminded him to keep his head down and work hard because this is only the start.
Jimuel enters the pros with an amateur record of 6-4.
