Pacquiao - Matthysse Manila Press Conference

 Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and World Boxing Association (WBA) World Welterweight Champion Lucas Matthysse held a press conference in the Grand Ballroom at the City of Dreams Manila Resort and Casino on April 18, 2018.

It was my first time to attend press conference of Manny Pacquiao and the event was attended by both local and foreign media.

As for the Filipino boxing legend he said that "My time is not done yet, that's what Im trying to prove".


Lucas Matthysse (39W-4L-36 KO's)

As for the defending champion he said that "Pacquiao is still very good, but not at the same level".  Matthysse added that he would "die for the title".

After the interview is the face-off betwen the two fighters.

I was able to have a quick photo with WBA Welterweight Champion Lucas Matthysse after the press conference.

The fight is set to happen at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia on July 15, 2018. This fight will be historic as the last WBA title fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Bugner in the city was in 1975.
