He said, "It might end my career in boxing, but it is my statement to all boxing fans, all over the globe: We entertain people, and we entertain in the rings.
"But what we do to others is the most important thing, and how we can help them.
"Not just for Filipinos, but for all of our brothers and sister around the globe."
He mentions the coronavirus pandemic in the world and the starving people around the globe, and says that we should help them'.
He added: "Always keep this in mind: God is love. Therefore, we must love one another and help each other not just by words, but also by doing.
"Thank you all - media, fans, promoters - for giving us the chance to succeed.
