Reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and his entourage depart for Brisbane, Australia today to defend his title against Jeff Horn on July 2 at the Suncorp Stadium. Pacquiao’s media relation head Aquiles Zonio told The Manila Times that Team Pacquiao has boarded a 350-seat customized Air Asia Airbus jet at General Santos for a seven-hour flight to Brisbane, Australia. “By noon tomorrow (Saturday), around 11:30 in the morning, we’ll be departing from General Santos via Air Asia Jet with around 200 people,” said Aquiles. This is not the first time that Team Pacquiao boarded an Air Asia chartered plane for his fight. Pacquiao moved his training camp to General Santos early this month.
