Pacquiao performs footwork drills on Week 2 of training camp


Eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao has started working on his lower body with his strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune on the second week of his training camp in Los Angeles.

Pacquiao, 42, is scheduled to challenge WBC and IBF world welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. on August 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, United States.

Deemed by oddsmakers as an underdog in the upcoming bout, Pacquiao admitted that Spence could be the toughest fight yet of his career.

The underdog status, however, only fuels Pacquiao's hunger to train harder, according to his trainer Freddie Roach.

"Manny loves hearing that the Las Vegas odds and the media favor Errol Spence," the Hall of Fame trainer said.

"Manny knows it's a tough fight—probably his toughest—but that’s why he began his conditioning so early in the Philippines."
