My first sports coverage since January/February 2020 is the presscon of the exhibition match between 8-Division Boxing Champion Manny Pacquiao and South Korean YouTuber DK Yoo. The press conference was held at Shangri-La Manila, The Fort on July 20.
The event schedule is 6 PM and dinner was served first to the media before the press conference which started around 8 PM when the fighters arrived.
Actually I am not familiar with DK Yoo, but he is a famous YouTuber in South Korea and he also had exhibition matches before and is known to be a martial artist. The exhibition match will take place in Seoul, South Korea this December.
He said that he is really blessed to have this exhibition match with a legend Manny Pacquiao and he is also very humble about this match.
For Manny Pacquiao, he accepted this exhibition match as this is for a good deed and at the same time it will entertain the crowd.
He also mentioned that he has no plans for now to come out of retirement and fight again in a real boxing match.
Pacman's bestfriend and coach Buboy Fernandez is also in the presscon as he will be training Pacquiao for the exhibition match.
The proceeds of the charity match will be donated for the homes in Ukraine.
After the Q&A's is the face-off and the photo-ops with the media.
After the event, I was able to have my Funko Pop signed by Manny Pacquiao and also had the chance to meet and have a photo with DK Yoo.
It was really nice to be back in covering events again. It was nice seeing friends from the media in the event and also met Kyla and Mariz who is also working for ABS-CBN Sports as social media journalist .
