MANILA, Philippines – With a little over two months before his fight against Jessie Vargas, Manny Pacquiao has kicked off his training.
 
And no, Pacquiao's not taking any leaves from the ongoing Senate session. Well, not yet.
 
The rookie senator had began working out at
Elorde in Five Ecom Center – a boxing gym that’s only a stone's throw away from his executive office in Pasay City.
 
While there hasn't been any signed paperwork to formalize everything, both parties have agreed to a fight on November 5 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
 
Check out photos of the fighting senator from Saranggani training for the first time his retirement courtesy of PhilBoxing.com’s Wendell Rupert Alinea:
