Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao has said on Wednesday that
he was recovering well after surgery for a shoulder injury.
“I’m ready to fight, next year,’’ he said in Indonesia when
he was asked whether he was ready for a re-match with Floyd Mayweather after
their fight in May, a website reported.
Pacquiao tore a rotator cuff in his right shoulder while on
training and during the much-anticipated fight against Mayweather on May 2 and
underwent surgery afterwards. Pacquiao lost the fight by unanimous decision.
“I’m fine. I can lift it,’’ Pacquiao said, gesturing with
his right arm during a trip to Indonesia to film a commercial’’.
