Jeff Horn has the chance to etch his name into Australian sporting history on Sunday in his hometown of Brisbane, when he takes on boxing icon Manny Pacquiao. Horn is the big underdog for the bout at the Suncorp Stadium despite having won 16 and drawn one of his 17 professional fights so far. That’s because the legendary Pacquiao, an eight-weight world champion, remains a supreme competitor, even at 38 years old.Even for a man as experienced as Pacquiao, the fight will be a venture into the unknown, as he’s never fought Down Under in his distinguished professional career. The home-crowd favourite will be out to capitalise should there be any signs of hesitancy from the Filipino.
