WBO world welterweight champion Timothy Bradley has spoke of overcoming death threats following his controversial victory over Manny Pacquiao. The two pound-for-pound stars meet again this weekend as they look to confine their contentious 2012 battle to the past and prove categorically who the superior fighter is.

Following Bradley's split decision win, he has spoken on overcoming a very difficult period in his career that eventually saw him bounce back in emphatic style with wins over WBO light-welterweight world champion Ruslan Provodnikov and former four division champion Juan Manuel Marquez.

The unbeaten Bradley, who has 31 wins on his record, is using Saturday night's clash as a chance to finally silence his critics.
