Pacquiao knows the importance this fight holds, and accordingly, he’s putting in exemplary efforts in his training sessions and more. In fact, he’s roped in the bigwig coach, Freddie Roach, for this fight and he’s back at the Wild Card Boxing Gym.

‘Pacman’ himself shared this news on his official Instagram handle. “Excited to be back at Wild Card Gym with coach Freddie!” he wrote.

Freddie Roach has trained ‘Pacman’ a number of times. The former was in Pacquiao’s corner for the biggest fight of his life against Floyd Mayweather. The duo has seen vast success together and the Filipino boxing legend felt that this might be the ideal time to collaborate with Roach again.

The boxing veteran has definitely developed ring rust and Roach will certainly help him get a hang of the ring again.

Both of them will look to put in extensive efforts for the next couple of months. So that on fight night, the pair is ready to overpower Errol Spence Jr. with their stern tactics.
