The 38-year-old Pacquiao, an 11-time champion across eight weight divisions and now a member of the\u00a0Philippines\u00a0senate, had intended the fight in Brisbane with local school teacher Horn to be a stepping stone to a more lucrative bout with former welterweight world champion Amir Khan. But Pacquiao now says the bout gives him a chance to let the boxing world know he’s still at the top.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to defend my crown and prove I am still there in boxing _ I am not done yet in boxing,\u201d Pacquiao told a news conference in Brisbane on Monday. \u201cDespite my business in the office as a senator I am still handling my boxing career.<\/p>\n

Boxing is my passion. I started when I was young \u2013It’s part of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pacquiao said he is still in shape and as good as ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends on how you discipline yourself, how you train and prepare yourself,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s a matter of discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n
