Boxing: Pacquiao – and Jack Ma – send message to Floyd
The back-and-forth between the camps of Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. continue.
This time, the “Pacman” got a boost from someone he calls a “good friend” – Alibaba founder and billionaire Jack Ma.
Pacquiao posted a video of himself and the Chinese businessman working the mitts, before firing a shot at Mayweather.
“Floyd Mayweather, if you want a real fight, fight me. If you want an exhibition, my guy, my friend, Jack Ma, will take care of you,” Pacquiao declared.
The 55-year-old Ma backed him up, saying: “Yeah, I am ready, any time, any place, Manny’s team is ready.”
Pacquiao and Mayweather have been trading barbs on social media for the past few months regarding a potential rematch.
The American comprehensively defeated Pacquiao when they faced off in May 2015, winning a unanimous decision. Pacquiao later revealed that he fought with an injured shoulder that later required surgery.
S Sudan climbs 11 positions in FIFA rankings
South Sudan have climbed 11 places to 162 positions in the latest FIFA rankings released on Thursday.
The raise is as a result of better results the bright Stars attained in the 2022 FIFA world cup qualifiers and the 2021 AFCON qualifiers late last month and early this month.
The Bright Stars drew 1-1 with Equatorial Guinea in Khartoum before losing 1-0 in the return league a week later in the 2022 world cup preliminary round of qualifiers.
The South Sudan national team went on to win a double header against Seychelles with a 2-1 win in Khartoum and a 1-0 win in Victoria City in the return league.
The team also reached to the quarterfinals of the regional Cecafa U-20 championships last month.
South Sudan is in group B of the 2021 AFCON qualifiers alongside Uganda, Malawi and Burkina Faso.
They will play Malawi in the first qualifier on 13 November in Lilongwe and Burkina Faso on 19 November in Khartoum.
