International boxing champion Manny Pacquiao will star in the spinoff of reality survival Netflix series “Physical: 100.”
The series, which had exclusively featured South Korean athletes, will now include competitors from all over Asia. The acclaimed boxer will be representing the Philippines in its third season, “Physical: Asia.”
“Pacquiao, revered worldwide as the only boxer in history to acquire titles in eight weight divisions, brings his formidable talent and indomitable spirit to this team-based clash of champions,” Netflix said in a press release.
“Physical: Asia” is set for release during the latter part of 2025. Presently, the Filipino sports legend is en route to the filming site.
Pacquiao is among the 2025 batch to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in June. Soon, he will join the ranks of other Filipino greats, such as Gabriel “Flash” Elorde and Francisco “Pancho Villa” Guilledo. The Pacman’s coach, Freddie Roach, has also previously been accorded the honor.
