Pacquiao returns from a four-year layoff rejuvenated as he looks to recapture welterweight gold
As the pre-fight documentary cameras for Prime Video's "Gloves Off" followed Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas in late May as he walked the hallways of the MGM Grand en route to the press conference announcing this weekend's return to boxing after nearly five years, the 46-year-old living legend could be heard singing the chorus of a familiar tune.
"Forever young!" Pacquiao sang. "I want to be … forever young!"
The song in question, a 1984 synth-pop anthem by the German band Alphaville, might be considered more of a mantra fueled by wishful thinking for Pacquiao, who has also been heard singing it throughout training camp in his return to the familiar stomping grounds of the Wild Card Boxing Gym in Los Angeles and the tutelage of Hall-of-Fame trainer Freddie Roach.
