WORLD lightweight champion David Diaz is just waiting for Manny Pacquiao to sign the dotted line.
In an interview with DZSR’s “Sports Chat” Tuesday morning, Diaz said everything he has already accepted the contract terms of his awaited battle against Pacquiao tentatively set on June 28 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 31-year-old Diaz (34-1-1, 17 KO’s) will stake his World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight crown which he already successfully defended once against Mexican icon Erik Morales. He won the interim crown by stopping highly-favored Jose Armando Sta. Cruz in the 10th round August of 2006 then cemented his claim to the regular title by scoring that win over Morales.
A southpaw like Pacquiao, Diaz know the importance of this bout as a win against the Filipino superstar will almost certainly give him the respect he’s been longing for.
Watch the interview.
