This week, famed professional boxer, Manny Pacquiao, announced that he will be coming out of retirement. He will be starring in a main event fight this fall in Las Vegas.

But that may not be the biggest news hitting the boxing circuit this week.

A rising star may have just been found on the Internet. German professional boxer Denis Liebau filmed a toddler, all decked out in his diaper and t­shirt (errr, I mean, premiere boxing shorts and other attire), copying Rocky Balboa’s training regimen from the movie Rocky II.

And the video has been lighting up the Internet like a 1­-2 jab­-cross punch combination. With over 68K reactions, 229K shares and 12.2M views, this video looks to be in the early rounds of one of the biggest boxing video sensations.

This kid’s weightlifting, punching and running skills would even make Micky Goldmill proud. That’s Rocky Balboa’s manager for those of you who aren’t Rocky buffs.

So watch out Manny Pacquiao. Watch out Mike Tyson. Watch out George Foreman. Watch out Sugar Ray Leonard. We may have the next boxing all­time greats on our hands. And if Rocky Balboa is this toddler’s inspiration, it looks like we have a winner.

But it’s not about winning, of course…it’s about going the distance. And as Rocky Balboa said, “Nobody owes nobody nothing. You owe yourself.”

So go owe yourself a visit to watch this awesome video, and tell us your comments below.
