Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is slowly making noise on social media ahead of his much-awaited comeback sometime this year.

This after the 42-year-old Pacquiao, all geared up in a blue sweatshirt and training shorts, shared a clip of him working out around the vicinity of their residence at Dasmarinas Village in Makati.

"Month by month, week by week, day by day. Always focused and ready to fight," wrote Pacquiao with the hashtag #TeamPacquiao and the fist bump emoji.

The boxer-turned-senator can be seen conducting shadow boxing and jogging in the 26-second clip posted Monday night, Feb. 15.

Perhaps, this is just one of the many videotapes that coach Freddie Roach had mentioned earlier.

The eight-division world champion also announced recently on social media that "training camp has begun," hinting his supposed return in boxing with "big news coming soon."

Pacquiao (62-7-2 39 KOs), who was recently named "champion in recess" by the WBA, has not fought since scoring a split decision win over Keith Thurman in July 2019.

The likes of top-caliber and current boxing champions in Ryan Garcia, Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr., and Mikey Garcia were projected to become Pacquiao's next opponent
