Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao faces unheralded Australian challenger Jeff Horn in Sunday's world welterweight title fight in Brisbane in pursuit of a dream rematch with Floyd Mayweather.


The Pacquiao camp says it is anticipating a "short and sweet" win over unbeaten Horn, an ex-school teacher. The eight-weight world champion, 38, is a favourite to improve his record of 59 wins, six losses and two draws vs Horn (16-0-1). The Pacquiao camp is setting up another showdown with Mayweather, who beat Pac-Man' in the Fight of the Century two years ago. "We're chasing a rematch with Floyd and know Manny has to score a big knockout win over Jeff Horn if that's going to happen," Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach said.
