Manny Pacquiao assures career 'is not yet over' ahead of Lucas Matthysse fight, launches own crypto-currency
Manny Pacquiao believes he has "a couple more fights" left in him before he retires, starting with his first contest for more than a year when he faces Argentine WBA welterweight world champion Lucas Matthysse in Kuala Lumpur this July.
"This early, we would like to thank the people who have made this event happen and I thank all boxing fans for their support", said Pacquiao.
The 39 year old Pacquiao confirmed to reporters last week that his career "is not over yet." but is looking at his legacy. "You won't see running or dancing in the ring", said Pacquiao, who has a 59-7-2 record with four of those losses coming in his last nine fights. Matthysse's style is very aggressive.

Matthysse, the risky 36-year-old champion from Argentina who tallied 36 knockouts out of his 39 wins, and against only four losses, has started training with Joel Diaz.
Another video with a panel of boxing experts questions Pacquiao and Matthysse was also produced.
