MANILA, Philippines – Boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao anticipates a “fun fight” against Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12 Mexican champion.

“It's gonna be fun,” Pacquiao said in reaction to Marquez’s challenge that he should do serious training for their upcoming fight.

“It will be a good fight because both of us are training hard,” he added.

Pacquiao is now in the early stage of his preparations for the Marquez fight.

He plans to go through 10 weeks of hard training together with boxing coach Freddie Roach and conditioning expert Alex Ariza.

When asked if he’s already in shape, Pacquiao said: “Ay hindi pa, 50% pa lang (Not yet, I’m just at 50%).”

Pacquiao also commented on Marquez’s nutritional regimen that includes drinking urine.

“Hindi ko alam kung sinong nag-advise sa kanya ng ganun (I don’t know who gave him that kind of advice)... that's his belief,” he said. – With reports from Dyan Castillejo, ABS-CBN News, and Ronnie Nathanielsz
