Manny Pacquiao is stepping into a new kind of battle that doesn’t involve gloves or a championship belt. The boxing legend officially joins Physical: Asia, Netflix’s highly anticipated spin-off of Physical: 100, bringing his unmatched endurance, strength, and fighting spirit to the competition.

The streaming giant confirmed that Pacquiao will serve as the Philippine representative in this extreme survival reality series, set to debut in the fourth quarter of the year. Unlike the original Physical: 100, which focused on individual dominance, Physical: Asia elevates the challenge with a high-stakes team format. The twist? If one teammate is eliminated, the entire squad is out, making teamwork as crucial as raw strength and stamina.

Pacquiao’s inclusion adds an exciting dynamic to the competition. With a career that spans decades, he remains one of the most celebrated athletes worldwide. As the only boxer in history to win world titles in eight different weight divisions, Pacquiao is also a four-time welterweight champion and holds the record as the oldest titleholder in the division, winning at the age of 40. Beyond boxing, he has made a name for himself in politics, having served as a senator in the Philippines before retiring from professional sports.

With a mix of elite athletes from across Asia competing for glory, Physical: Asia promises to be an intense showdown of power, strategy, and endurance. Fans can anticipate thrilling challenges, unexpected twists, and, with Pacquiao involved, an added layer of excitement.
