AFP, December 1, 2009
As the Filipino hero registered a bid for a congressional seat representing the southern province of Sarangani, his American trainer Freddie Roach called for a fight with Israel's World Boxing Association (WBA) light-middleweight champion Yuri Foreman, according to Western newspapers.
Pacquiao however said he was focused on the election.
"There's nothing to it at this time," he said of the reports that Roach wanted him to fight the undefeated Foreman at 70 kilos in March.
"I have not spoken to him (Roach) about it," Pacquiao said by telephone.
