    Katsidis Issues Challenge To Pacquiao

    Australian Blood and Guts Warrior Michael “The Great” Katsidis wants to fight Manny Pacquiao here in Manila. He made the announcement Friday morning during the Sportswriters Communicators Organization of the Philippines (SCOOP) sa Kamayan press conference in Manila.

    “Can you imagine Mayweather coming to the Philippines to fight Pacquiao? No he won’t.” Katsidis said, “But I will.”

    His financial backers, notably Sportsbet (sportsbet.com.au) are willing to negotiate. When asked about his battle plan, he said he will fight Pacquiao the way he fought another Filipino southpaw, Czar Amonsot.

    If that is the case, fans can expect an exciting blood bath if Pacquiao decides to accept the challenge.

    Cebu based promoter Sammy Gello-ani, who co-promotes Katsidis here in the Philippines attended the event together with Australian manager Brendon Smith and boxing trainer Nonito Donaire, Sr. who worked as Katsidis’ cutman in Cebu last January. Katsidis won the vacant WBO Oriental-Pacific Lightweight title with a ten round unanimous decision win over Angel Hugo Ramirez of Spain at the Cebu Coliseum. In his last fight two months ago, he beat former IBF Lightweight champ Jesus Chavez by 8th round TKO.

    Kats has made no secret that he wants to make the fight but there is no reason Pac should fight him.

    It would be a good retirement fight for Pac in the Philippines after he loses to PBF or Mosley

    I dont see this fight any different than the Hatton fight, unless it ends even earlier.

    I respect the guy, but he has no business calling out that class of fighter.
