"I am excited to receive my diploma and display it on the wall," Pacquiao said on Instagram. "I dedicate this to my very beautiful and very supportive wife, Jinkee, and to our amazing children, Jimuel, Michael, Princess, Queenie, and Israel. I will also show this diploma to my Mommy Dionisia, my Dad, and my siblings and remind them of God's faithfulness. Among my achievements, this will be the most meaningful.
"Let this victory outside the boxing ring serve as an inspiration for people who are struggling to fight, to rise above adversity, to conquer and to embrace life and all its difficulties."
Pacquiao last fought in July when he defeated Keith Thurman via split decision to claim the WBA welterweight title and plans to return to the ring early next year.
