International Olympic Committee rejects Manny Pacquiao’s participation in Paris 2024 Olympics (RELATED PRESS)
Legendary Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has been officially rejected by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics due to age restrictions. Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino said in a statement: “Unfortunately, we are a Beloved boxing icon banned due to age.” The International Olympic Committee only allows boxers under the age of 40 compete.
Manny Pacquiao revealed in an interview last year that unfortunately for his career he was unable to participate in the Olympics. “From the very beginning I became a member of the Philippine team in Manila, but I was not selected. I was rejected because they thought ‘If it is not good enough, my heart and desire is to win a gold medal in the Olympics.”
Although Manny Pacquiao missed the Olympics in Paris this time, his fans can still see him in his rematch with Floyd Mayweather in Japan, but the detailed information about the rematch has not been announced again.
