MANNY PACQUIAO continues to prove that age is just a number after going to work on a punch bag at his home.
The Filipino boxing legend showed fans that he is still fighting fit as he continues to work out during the coronavirus lockdown.

The 41-year-old has proved that age is just a number
Pacquiao, 41, who was recently urged to self-isolate following a party, is now staying put at his £7million mansion.
And he has all the tools needed to ensure he remains in top shape for his sensational return to the ring in the future.
A video posted online shows the former eight-division world champ throwing a series of combos at his punchbag alongside some sharp footwork.
An interview posted on Fight Hype explained how he has managed to maintain his longevity in the sport.
He said: “For me, if I’m thinking about boxing, it’s about how you prepare for the fight.
“I don’t consider myself the best boxer – or (to have) the best style in boxing. But I work hard.
“I punish myself during training. If my fight is 12 rounds – ask my coaches – I do every day 20 or 30 rounds. Before when I was young, 36 rounds every day – and the fight is only 12 rounds, so it’s easy.”
And after seeing Pacquiao looking sharp in training, fans can’t wait to see him back in action.
One fan commented: “Can’t wait to see him back in action again. Hopefully against one of the welterweight champions.”
Another added: “Pac is still fighting probably because he doesn’t abuse his body in between fights.”
He has not fought since beating Keith Thurman for the WBA title in July last year.
And Pacquiao has made it no secret of his desire to have one final big bout with either Errol Spence Jr or fight against Mikey Garcia.
He said in March: “My plan is to get back into the ring this coming July.

“Second or third week in July. Training should start in April, May, June. We have enough time.
“There’s a lot of possible opponents, like Mikey Garcia, Errol Spence or [Terence] Crawford and also there’s boxers from Canada and Mexico who want to fight with me.”
There are rumours that Conor McGregor could dust off his gloves yet again for another huge bout with Pacquiao.
They were sparked when Pacquiao called out the Irishman before January’s fight with Donald Cerrone.
A month later the 41-year-old further fuelled speculation by joining management company Paradigm Sports Management – the same as McGregor.
