Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao made a surprise visit to Wiltshire of all places over the weekend, sparking widespread confusion.

The Filipino is not usually seen in the UK, making his visit seem all the stranger.

Pacquiao, the only eight-division world champion in the history of boxing, has won twelve major world titles.

But he appeared to have one final thing to add to his vast collection of trophies, a trip to Stonehenge.

Who can really blame him? Especially at this time of year when the autumn weather creates the perfect Stonehenge scene.

One user replied: "Imagine bumping into Pacquiao down Stone Henge, mental".

A big boxing account asked: "Where’s the strangest place you’ve seen a boxer?"

Another said: "Nothing to see here just Manny Pacquiao in Stonehenge, England today wearing his Cuban link".

According to GMA Sports, the visit was simply a quiet day out with his family.

What is Stonehenge?

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain that attracts thousands of tourists each year.

It is arguably one of the most culturally significant and mysterious landmarks in the world, a real head-scratcher for all who visit.

What are the Stonehenge theories?

It has been suggested that either:

  • Stonehenge was a ceremonial site
  • The destination of a religious pilgrimage
  • A final resting place for royalty
  • A memorial site in honour of ancestors

Archaeologists believe it was created, built, or 'stood up' between 3000 BC and 2000 BC, and has fascinated people ever since.

It has been a site of great significance and spirituality since its creation, but no one really knows what its original purpose was meant for.
