Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has announced his retirement from the sport to focus on his political career.

The eight-division world champion, who is a senator in his native Philippines, has already announced his intention to run for president in the country's 2022 elections.

The 42-year-old's final fight was a defeat by Cuba's Yordenis Ugas in Las Vegas last month.
