The boxing world is about to witness the next chapter in the Pacquiao dynasty as Jimuel Pacquiao officially steps into the professional ring. The 24-year-old son of fighting legend Manny Pacquiao will make his pro debut on November 29, 2025, marking a significant milestone in his combat sports career.
Professional Debut Details
Jimuel Pacquiao's first professional bout will take place at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California, as part of an MP Promotions boxing event. His opponent for this highly anticipated match will be Brandan Lally, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting introduction to professional boxing for the younger Pacquiao.
The transition to professional status comes after Jimuel built substantial experience in the amateur ranks. He began his amateur boxing journey in the United States back in 2022, steadily developing his skills and fight IQ against increasingly challenging competition.
Amateur Career and Training
Jimuel concludes his amateur career with a 6-4 record, having most recently secured a unanimous decision victory against Patrick Reyes on April 19, 2025, in Las Vegas. This victory served as a confidence-building performance that likely influenced his decision to turn professional.
Currently, Jimuel is training at the legendary Wild Card Gym in California under the tutelage of hall-of-fame trainer Freddie Roach. This partnership is particularly significant given Roach's extensive history training Jimuel's father, Manny Pacquiao, during the peak of his legendary career.
Continuing the Pacquiao Legacy
Jimuel becomes the second Pacquiao child to enter professional boxing, following in the footsteps of his half-brother, Eman Bacosa Pacquiao. Eman, the son of Manny Pacquiao and Joanna Bacosa, has established an impressive professional record of 7-0-1 with four knockouts, setting a high standard for the family's next generation of fighters.
The Pacquiao boxing legacy continues to expand with Jimuel's professional debut, adding another chapter to one of combat sports' most celebrated family stories. Boxing enthusiasts and Filipino sports fans worldwide will be watching closely as this new generation carries forward the Pacquiao name in professional boxing.
