MANILA, Philippines -- Unbeaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will join the training camp of pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao in two weeks’ time, according to Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz.
In an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer after joining Pacquiao on a flight to his hometown of General Santos City on Thursday, Koncz said three spar mates have been scheduled to arrive with trainer Freddie Roach on Sunday morning.
The sparring partners are 29-year-old Rashad Holloway (11-1-2, 5 KOs), a welterweight prospect and a regular during Pacquiao’s training camps; unbeaten 24-year-old junior middleweight Vanes Martirosyan (28-0, 17 KOs), who stands 6 feet tall; and 20-year-old prospect Glen Tapia (7-0, 5 KOs) of New Jersey.
Koncz said the 6-1 Chavez made himself available after his Dec. 4 fight against WBO light middleweight champion Miguel Cotto was called off. Read More >>>
