World Boxing Organization (WBO) will gift welterweight champion, ?Fighter of the Decade? and the eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao an exclusive diamond ring as superchampion.
WBO president, Francisco ?Paco? Valcarcel has announced that the diamong ring will be presented to Pacquiao before his fourth title defense against undefeated junior welterweight champion Timothy ?Desert Storm? Bradley at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on June 9.
Valcarcel said ?We are going to gift Manny Pacquiao with a diamond ring, an exclusive ring, for him as a superchampion. The ring is specially designed for Pacquiao. There are just two in the World, this for Pacquiao, and the other one we gave to Oscar de la Hoya in 1995. This ring is for elite boxers,? Valcarcel said.
Pacquiao who holds a ring record of 54-3-2 with 38 knockouts is scheduled to receive his ring the week of his fight versus Bradley who is undefeated in 28 fights with 12 knockouts.
