Manny Pacquiao has congratulated his son Emmanuel on winning an unanimous decision in his American amateur boxing debut after the youngster outpointed Andres Rosales in a tough first Stateside fight.
The legendary former eight-division world champion wasn't keen on seeing his son follow in his footsteps initially, despite being one of the greatest fighters of all time. But he appears to have warmed to the idea of seeing his eldest get in the ring, and congratulated the 21-year-old on a big win.
Pacquiao took to social media to congratulate his son on the victory, telling him he was proud of his efforts in the ring. "Congratulations to my son Emmanuel Pacquiao on fighting and winning his first US amateur fight at junior welterweight," he wrote on social media. "I’m so proud of you, #TeamPacquiao."
