Pacquiao-Clottey Fight Set For March

After talks for a fight against Mayweather didn't push through, Manny Pacquiao's camp has turned to Ghanaian Joshua Clottey for a bout this March. Location for the fight is going to be announced on Monday.


Clottey beat Zab Judah of the U.S. in August 2008 for the IBF Welterweight title. Last June, though, he lost to Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico.

The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight didn't push through because Pacquiao didn't give in to Mayweather's demand of random drug tests before and after the fight. He didn't want blood drawn from him 30 days before the bout due to superstitious/personal beliefs.
