In previous seasons of Physical: 100, 100 elite competitors fought to outlast each other in a grueling individual tournament. This time, Physical: Asia transforms the battleground into a high-stakes team competition featuring top-tier athletes representing their respective countries. If a single teammate falls, the entire squad is eliminated, raising the stakes and drama to unprecedented heights.
Pacquiao, revered worldwide as the only boxer in history to acquire titles in eight weight divisions, brings his formidable talent and indomitable spirit to this team-based clash of champions. His participation signals the show’s expanded ambition: a fierce face-off among Asia’s finest, with national pride on the line.
Physical: Asia will be premiering in the fourth quarter of 2025. Stay tuned for more info! For now, catch up on the first two seasons of Physical: 100 streaming on Netflix.
