Manny Pacquiao wants a rematch against undefeated American fighter Timothy Bradley after a World Boxing Organization review panel revealed that the Filipino ring icon won their match last June 9.
The Associated Press is reporting that Pacquiao would rather have a rematch with Bradley instead of taking the WBO welterweight title.
The WBO tapped five international boxing experts to review the fight, and all of them scored it for Pacquiao. But it had made clear that regardless of the panel’s finding, it cannot overturn the official result the Pacquiao-Bradley fight: a controversial split decision for Bradley.
In an earlier interview, Pacquiao said that he is looking to knock out Bradley in a rematch to prevent judges from affecting the outcome of the match.
