Manny Pacquiao will not enter the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a sitting senator.

The former eight -division champion was unsuccessful in his bid for a second run as a senator in the 2025 Philippine election.

The election results marked Pacquia ’s second straight defeat in politics.

Pacquio will return to the ring in July to fight WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios .

The 46-year-old southpaw is expected to formally announce the news at a press conference next week .

A scrawny 16-year-old Pacquiao was never meant to amount to much in the ring.

He won his first title in 1998 , just two -and-a-half years and 21 fights into his pro career.

It wasn't until his 2001 upset knockout win over Lehlo Ledwaba that his career caught fire.
