On Friday, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao was taken to a local hospital after complaining of foot pain while working out at the Florde Gym, according to news from Abs-cbn news.

The doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with Pacquiao other than some swelling. It could be that the way that Pacquiao has a habit of jumping around when fighting might have caused a lot of stress on feet. At 31, Pacquiao is beginning to show signs of aging.
