И / 6 п.м. ПТ, live from Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Квинсленд, Аустралија.

“Battle of Brisbane: Пацкуиао. Horn” is a presentation of Top Rank and Duco Events. Super Channel will air four exciting fights from this card, headlined by Pacquiao vs. Horn, искључиво у Канади.

“Super Channel is ecstatic to be bringing a non-pay-per-view Pacquiao bout to Canadian fight fans as a follow up to the exciting Brook vs Spence IBF Welterweight Championship we brought them in May” рекао Troy Wassill, Директор програмирања, Domestic Distributors and Sports. “We keep hearing from our viewers that they want more boxing on Super Channel and the ‘Battle of Brisbane’ is going to deliver exactly what they are looking for.”

“The world has followed amazing Manny since he burst onto the scene in his U.S. деби у 2001, where he knocked out Lehlo Ledwaba to win his second of a record eight division world titles,” Халл оф Фаме промотера Боб Арум додао. “It’s going to be an unbelievable event.”

Пацкуиао (59-6-2, 38 КОс), a former two-term congressman, was elected to a Philippine Senate seat in May 2016, capturing more than 16 million votes nationally. An international icon, Pacquiao is the only fighter to win eight world titles in as many different weight divisions. A three-time Fighter of the Year and the reigning BWAA “Борац деценије,” Пакјао биографију има победе над садашњој и будућој дворани пољопривредницима, укључујући Оскар де ла Хоја, Рицки Хаттон, Марцо Антонио Баррера, Ерик Моралес, Мигел Цотто, Схане Мослеи, Мануел Маркес Хуан и Тимоти Бредли.

Од 2008 на 2010, five of his seven victories were in world title fights, in five different weight classes, у распону од 130 на 154 фунти. No active boxer has sold more live tickets in the U.S. него Пацкуиао, који се приписује и више од 18 million domestic pay-per-view buys. After his disappointing unanimous decision loss to Флоид Маивеатхер, Јр. маја 2, 2015, a world championship fight that generated a record 4.5 million pay-per-view buys and more than $400 million in television revenue alone, a healthy Pacquiao (he had suffered a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder during the fourth round of the Mayweather fight) returned to the winner’s circle on April 9, 2016, winning the rubber match against five-time world champion Bradley. In a battle of Top-10 pound for pound fighters, Pacquiao sent Bradley to the canvas twice en route to a dominant 12-round unanimous decision victory. О Нов. 5, Pacquiao regained the WBO welterweight title for a third time when he shellacked the once-defeated defending champion Џеси Варгас via another dominant 12-round unanimous decision. Pacquiao has been trained by Hall of Famer Фреди Роацх од 2001.

Unbeaten hometown-favorite Horn (16-0-1, 11 КОс), fighting out of Brisbane (Квинсленд, Аустралија), enters the fight of his life having won his last three battles — sve u 2016 — против Ali Funeka, Rico Mueller и Рандал Бејли, унутар удаљености. They had a combined record of 105-14-4 when he fought them. The 2012 Australian Olympian’s background belies the warrior he has become inside the ring. Well-schooled inside and outside the ring, Horn received his Bachelor of Education degree from Griffith University and taught high school Physical Education even as he embarked on his professional boxing career.

Horn started boxing at age 18 after being picked on by bullies and he has been an advocate of anti-bullying campaigns. Immensely popular throughout Australia, the 29-year-old Horn has become a national gate attraction in his own right. Selected as the 2015 Australian Boxer of the Year, Horn is trained and managed by Glenn Rushton, the only trainer he has ever had, and assisted by former WBC super welterweight world champion Јохн “Беаст” Mugabi.

The Јул 1 telecast will also feature Irish Olympic hero Мицхаел Цонлан (2-0, 2 КОс), from Belfast, in a six-round featherweight bout against Јарретт “Јуарез” Owen (5-4-3, 2 КОс), of Brisbane, и Међународна федерација Бокс (ИБФ) junior bantamweight world champion Jerwin “Претти Бои” Ancajas (24-1-1, 16 КОс), of Cavite City, Филипини, defending his title against top-rated contender Teiru Kinoshita (25-1-1, 8 КОс), of Kobe, Јапан.
