Manny Pacquiao fails to KO YouTube star DK Yoo in farcical exhibition fight

Manny Pacquiao brutally dropped YouTube star DK Yoo multiple times as he made his return to the ring for an exhibition bout in South Korea last night, but was unable to stop his opponent.

The legendary eight-division world champion hung up his gloves after being beaten by Yordenis Ugas in the summer of last year, but stepped back between the ropes to face social media star DK Yoo. The YouTuber tipped the scales 13lb heavier than Pacquiao, who himself came in at a massive 161lb, a stone more than his career heaviest.

However, he had said prior to the bout that the plan was to show fans and boxing experts that he still has what it takes to fight top welterweights. Pacquiao declared during an interview with FightHype that if Errol Spence Jr and Terrance Crawford couldn't fight each other, he would be happy to face them instead.
