iShowSpeed was overjoyed to meet his “favorite boxer of all time,” Manny Pacquiao, during his trip to the Philippines.

In a three-hour YouTube Livestream, the American content creator could be seen visiting Pacquiao's home, wearing a jersey with Pacquiao’s face printed on it. Upon meeting his “favorite fighter of all time,” Speed updated him right away, saying that he was able to eat balut and durian.

“Mahal kita,” Speed told Manny as they shook hands.

Speed was teased by the top boxer and former senator’s brother, who asked if he actually ate cat meat in siopao.

“I ain’t eat no meow meow,” the vlogger said. “I got scared, I thought I really ate a meow meow.”

Speed also took on a boxing challenge with Manny, and fell by the third jab.

He then put on some gloves and tried warmup punches with Manny acting as the coach. Seeing that the vlogger knows the basic boxing moves, Manny cheered and wore a huge smile.

The two then took part in a boxing match. The boxing legend was evidently having fun and let Speed punch his chest and arms.

“Come on Manny, go a little harder on me. I’m not a kid,” Speed said during their fight.

The vlogger was in for a surprise when he got knocked out in a single body shot. Manny helped him up and they shared a hug.

Manny also ate balut with Speed and his bodyguards, and the duo even played a round of chess, with the boxer winning in a checkmate.

Speed was also overwhelmed at Pacquiao’s large mansion, which has a tunnel, pool, and several luxury cars and motorcycles.

In the house’s theater, Speed was able to sing karaoke to none other than Manny’s song, “Para Sa'yo Ang Laban Na'to,” and the boxer couldn’t help but laugh.

While inside a car, Speed made Manny recreate his “Happy new year, everyone” meme.

As a gift, Manny gave Speed a signed red boxing gloves.

IShowSpeed arrived in the Philippines early this week and has been exploring non-stop.

As of writing, IShowSpeed has 29.5 million subscribers on YouTube, 24.1 million followers on Instagram, and 29.5 million followers on TikTok.
