With the senate in the Philippines, in which Manny Pacquiao serves, in recess, he's due to arrive in Los Angeles on Saturday night for the second part of his training camp for his welterweight title fight with Keith Thurman on July 20 (Fox PPV) at the MGM Grant in Las Vegas. “At age 40 I want to prove I can still beat an undefeated champion," Pacquiao said. “I like being an underdog in this fight. Keith Thurman does not scare me. Keith Thurman does not intimidate me. Keith Thurman has inspired me. I am training harder than ever. This is the biggest test of my career. It is a story that is 40 years in the making."
