BoxingScene.com is reporting that boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has sprained his ankle while playing a game of basketball over the weekend.
The boxer of the decade blamed the incident on himself for not using an ankle support. It came during the third consecutive game Pacquiao had played, but said “It’s not the first time. It’s OK.”
In the past his trainer had expressed concern that playing basketball could lead to injury.
The champ gave a very candid answer when asked if he still considers himself an elite fighter.
