TOKYO -- Philippine boxer and Sen. Manny Pacquiao said Friday he will open a gym in Tokyo's trendy Harajuku district next spring, on the heels of a return to the sport he calls his passion.
The gym will be run by a longtime acquaintance, Japanese businessman Yoshihiro Agata, under a licensing deal. It will be aimed at amateurs and boxing enthusiasts, not professionals, and will not be affiliated with the Japan Pro Boxing Association.
