The semi -Chinese WBA belt once belonged to Manny Pacquiao after the victory over Keith Thurman in 2019. But with the complicated development of the disease, Manny Pacquiao was unable to be up to WBA's request, so he was officially deprived of the belt. Meanwhile, Yordenis Ugas is holding a semi -semi -class WBA Regular belt. Earlier this year, that belt was raised to the Super belt that Pacquiao once owned.
In the recent speech, Manny Pacquiao appreciated the opponent Yordenis Ugas but still confident to win.
“I did not underestimate my opponent. He was an experienced and mature puncher from the Olympic Games. But there would be only one better person in the upcoming match and I believe it is me. I don't like someone who has taken my belt without fighting on the ring.
Both of us are champions but see who will have the belt after the match. I will try to knock-out Ugas to make fans happy, ”Pacquiao said at the press conference.
Manny Pacquiao also revealed that this puncher is undergoing a fierce training process than the preparation time for the match against Keith Thurman.
“I feel young. I am only happy with what I am doing, because boxing is my passion. I practice every day with the highest determination to prepare for a battle like this. Every day I practice 30 or more, compared to 25 rounds of preparation for the match with Keith Thurman before. The coaches have tried to stop me because I practice too much,” said Manny Pacquiao. “
Meanwhile, Yordenis Ugas confirmed that Pacquiao could not beat him.
“I am sure that he cannot defeat me. I have prepared all over the past 6 years to reach this position and believe that I cannot be prevented by Pacquiao. I have prepared to play in 12 rounds. If this is Pacquiao's last match, he will face a world -class fighter,” Yordenis Ugas is confident.
