Pacquiao returns to the ring against Yordenis Ugas

 



'Never underestimate your opponent because he can punch also. Always keep in 100 per cent condition mentally, physically and spiritually.

He went on to add: 'I hope you're going to watch this fight, don't miss it.

'It's going to be a good fight – it might be my last fight, or more, we don't know. God knows. Thank you so much for all your support.

- Manny Pacquiao
