World Boxing Council lightweight champ Manny Pacquiao confirmed on Thursday that his mother, Dionesia, wants him to retire from the ring.

Bob Arum of Top Rank, his US promoter, has confirmed that he would rather pit the Filipino champ against Humberto Soto rather than wait for the medical clearance of Venezuelan knockout artist Edwin Valero.
On Wednesday, Pacquiao said he has decided to keep the WBC lightweight belt and continue to fight in the 135-pound division.
This means that he will surrender his WBC super featherweight title which he won from Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez last March via split decision.
"Nagbigay na ako ng instruction sa aking abugado na ipaalam sa WBC na ang 135-pound championship belt ang idedepensa ko... So ang 130 pound championship belt na napanalunan ko noong March ang igi-give up ko," he said. With a report from Regie Adosto, ABS-CBN Iloilo
