Manny Pacquiao has given the strongest hint yet that he will retire from boxing after one last fight.
The 36-year-old (57-6-2-KO38) lost a points decision to unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather in May and having undergone rotator cuff surgery since, has been giving serious consideration to his future in the sport.
Pacquiao has been a congressman in his native Philippines since 2010 and confirmed earlier in the week his bid for a senate seat in national elections to be held in May next year.
I think I'm ready. I've been in boxing for more than 20 years. I prayed to God for guidance and I am happy about it.
Pacquiao has said he wants another fight but when asked if he would retire soon, he told ABS-CBN: "I think I'm ready. I've been in boxing for more than 20 years. I prayed to God for guidance and I am happy about it.
"I will have to give up the other things that require my attention. If you are a senator, your focus should only be your job and your family."
Should Pacquiao fight one last time as expected, the likes of former gym-mate Amir Khan have expressed an interest in facing him.
And the Filipino admits he is in the dark over a possible rematch with the supposedly-retired Mayweather.
Pacquiao added: "We can not say if there is a rematch or not. It depends, it depends..."
