Pacquiao hints at fighting on

MANILA, Philippines – Retirement is still not on Manny Pacquiao’s mind, as far as the boxer’s latest Twitter post is concerned.

In a tweet posted Thursday, Pacquiao said he will continue to take boxing matches “until the passion is gone.”

I love this sport and until the passion is gone, I will continue to fight for God, my family, my fans and my country. pic.twitter.com/mcfegAOSIi

The Filipino icon has been contemplating retirement following his loss to Australian Jeff Horn last July 2 in Brisbane, Australia, a move supported by key members of his camp.

But the 38-year-old Pacquiao has a rematch clause against Horn and will likely exercise it.
