Pacquiao trumps rumors, says July fight will happen
WITH the arrival of strength and conditioning coach Justine Fortune last Friday, Manny Pacquiao's training shifted to higher gear as he prepares for his fight opposite WBA champion Lucas Matthysse on July 15. Pacquiao, also the promoter of the mega-fight, dispelled rumors that there might be a possibility of a postponement of this match. "We are shifting our training to higher gear now with less than two months before the fight," said Pacquiao, who, like Matthysse, is deep in training for their clash in the posh Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur.
