MANILA, Philippines – Fighting congressman Manny Pacquiao will begin his preparations for the Timothy Bradley fight sometime in April.
Ronnie Nathanielsz said in his Boxing Scene report that Pacquiao will kick-off his training in Baguio City in mid-April.
Pacquiao plans to spend four weeks in the City of Pines before flying to Los Angeles, California to spend the rest of his training in Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym.
The eight-division champion is scheduled to defend his WBO welterweight title against Bradley on June 9.
The fight is scheduled to take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao, who typically trains six to seven weeks for a fight, said he wants a longer training period for the Bradley bout.
He said he’s rested for quite some time since his third fight against Juan Manuel Marquez last November.
“I want eight to nine weeks,” he said.
“Medyo matagal pahinga kaya dapat mahaba ang training (I've had a long rest so I should go on longer training),” said Pacquiao.
