Whether you’re a boxing fan or not, professional boxer and Senator of the Philippines Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao needs no introduction. As the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing and twelve major world titles under his belt, it’s no wonder that he’s considered as one of the greatest boxers of all time.
And if you’ve ever wondered who might eventually follow in his footsteps, all eyes are on his 20-year-old son, Emmanual Pacquiao Jr., or more commonly known as Jimuel Pacquaio. Jimuel is the eldest son of Manny and Jinkee Jamora, with four younger siblings: Michael Stephen, Mary Divine Grace, Queen Elizabeth, and Israel.
While Manny didn’t exactly envision a career in boxing for his children, it comes as no surprise that Jimuel would take up interest in the sport. After all, don’t many of us look up to our parents as our first (and only) heroes? But despite his parents’ concern, Jimuel still decided to pursue the sport and began his training around December 2018, with Manny eventually becoming his son’s mentor. The only question is how long will it be until Jimuel goes for the title?
Aside from his amateur boxing career, did you know that Jimuel is also something of a YouTuber himself? His first video premiered on 22 December 2019, sharing 25 random facts about himself to fans and followers. Since then, he’s posted vlogs ranging from his workout routine, to tag videos featuring his siblings, and has amassed over 534K subscribers.
So what does life look like for the amateur boxer and YouTuber? We check out his Instagram and find out.
Did you know that before boxing and YouTube, Jimuel actually kicked off his professional career as a model? And while that has been put aside for now, he still has a knack for fashion and dressing well – whether he’s taking it casual or going street style.

And just like the rest of us, Jimuel does take a break from his professional life – but in a different way. How about visiting Nami Island in South Korea or soaking up sun in his father’s yacht?

Whether it’s something he picked up during his modelling days or a habit that’s he’s grown up with, we always love to see a guy who takes care of himself and his skin – and can we just point out that he’s someone who also understands the importance of sunscreen?
