Manny Pacquiao's 18-year-old son Jimuel is being trained by his father as he learns how to box.
But his decision to get into the ring hasn't best pleased his parents.
Pacquiao, 40, has revealed it "pains" him to see his child step between the ropes whilst his wife, Jinkee, was reduced to tears when he told his parents he wanted to take up the brutal sport.
The Filipino legend only took up the sport to escape the streets of the Philippines after a tough upbringing and now his son, real name Emmanuel, is adamant he wants to follow in his father's footsteps.
A clip posted by Jinkee Pacquiao showed the youngster being put through his paces and given tips by his Dad, an eight-division world champion considered one of the greatest boxers of all-time.
