Pacquiao kickstarts celebration of 'Thrilla in Manila'
Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao says he felt blessed in leading the 50th anniversary celebration of the classic bout between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali dubbed as the 'Thrilla in Manila' on Oct. 1, 2025. Ali defeated Frazier in the 1975 slugfest after 14 rounds to become the undisputed heavyweight champ. Pacquiao answered questions from the media in the presser for the month-long Thrilla in Manila Golden Celebration in a restaurant in Quezon City. The celebration will end on Oct. 29 with a fightcard at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with the battle between Filipino reigning WBC minimumweight champ Melvin Jerusalem and Siyakholwa Kuse of South Africa serving as the main event.
