SAN DIEGO (CNS) – Legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao will serve as a team captain and compete as an active fighter for the San Diego TJ’s, an expansion franchise in the Team Boxing League, officials announced Wednesday.
The 47-year-old Filipino, the only eight-division world champion in boxing history, will join the league as an ambassador in 2026, before he officially joins the TBL ownership group in 2027, when he will also start his role with the TJ’s.
“I believe in the vision of TBL and what this league is building for the future of boxing,” Pacquiao said. “Team boxing brings a new level of excitement, strategy, and opportunity for fighters and fans. I’m proud to be part of TBL and look forward to contributing both inside and outside the ring.”…
