Manny Pacquiao, one of boxing’s GOATs, retired back in Sept 2021 after an illustrious career where he captured titles in over 8 divisions. He Tweeted out that he had respect for the greatest sport and the greatest fans but he made his decision and he’s retired. Pacquiao however is set to return to the ring against a YouTuber.
According to boxing reporter Michael Benson, Pacman is set to return against Korean Youtuber and Martial Artist DK Yoo. He is set to fight the YouTuber in an exhibition match.
DK Yoo previously fought former UFC fighter Bradley Scott and his performance wasn’t impressive. It seemed like Bradley was able to impose his will over all 6 rounds. It looks like the martial artist is in for more pain in his fight against Pacquiao. Yoo might fall back on his tactics of merely surviving the rounds, escaping the knockout as he did against the UFC fighter. At any rate, Pacquiao’s return to the ring is welcome, even against opponents of lesser skills.
Who is DK Yoo: Manny Pacquiao’s contender?
DK Yoo is a Korean martial artist that specialises in styles such as Jeet Kune Do, Systema, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun. His abilities as a Korean martial arts instructor, however, have been called into question for the previous six years.

He always seems to be in control of his movements right, executed perfectly, down to the last detail. Aside from his technical proficiency, little is known about him. Rumours have it, that he was a member of the Korean Special Forces, while others say he was trained by the Russian Spetsnaz.
