If Manny Pacquiao was hesitant to let Jimuel follow in his footsteps, it certainly didn't show in a recent video showing the world-champion father apparently training his son.

In a post shared by wife Jinkee on Instagram, Pacquiao could be seen giving Jimuel some pointers.

Gatan-aw ko nila pero kahilakon nako kaayo. 😔😢Ang akong anak gusto gyud mag-boxing! Ang amahan niingon intawon nga 'Babe, naa na gyud tay boxer" dili man gyud papugong! Oh, Lord, Your Will be done in my son's life! I know he can do all things through You who strengthens him. 🙏❤️ To God be all the glory! @mannypacquiao #daddycoaching

Jinkee said she held back tears seeing Jimuel mirror Pacquiao's moves.

"While I was watching them, I was about to cry. My son really wants to be a boxer," she said. "Manny said, 'Babe, we finally have a boxer in the family. Nothing can stop him."

Last month, Pacquiao said it was difficult to accept that his eldest son is bent on becoming a professional fighter, but Jimuel's parents have caved in to their boy's desire, albeit begrudgingly.

"It pains me, because I know how hard is boxing," Pacquiao said previously. "I can't stand to see my son getting beaten. It's OK if I am the one who will be beaten."
