BAGUIO CITY -- Reigning pound for pound world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is set to spar Thursday with three foreign boxers, two of them Russians who are a bit taller than him. Ruslan Provalikov, who stands five feet, six inches and Ruslan Nugayev who is five feet, eight inches promised to give the Filipino boxing idol a good fight in their scheduled sparring sessions. California-based Francisco Santana was also observed to be seriously preparing for the forthcoming sparring sessions with Pacquiao in the remaining week of his high-altitude training before flying to the United States for further training. Pacquiao will face undefeated American boxer Timothy Bradley on June 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada for a title fight. Buboy Fernandez, one of the trainers in the Team Pacquiao said "he resumed hard work today in preparation for sparring sessions probably by Thursday."
Pacquiao concentrated on biometrics training and other lighter work Tuesday in time for the celebration of the birthday of his younger brother, Bobby, former world intercontinental boxing champion.
