Timothy Bradley believes Manny Pacquiao will fight again after their April bout

The press tour for Manny Pacquiao's next fight has started as the Filipino boxer has already arrived in the US. The 37-year-old boxer is set to fight Timothy Bradley on April 9 in what the Filipino champion claims is going to be his last bout.

The Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley match is advertised as the farewell fight for the former. However, not everyone is convinced about that, including his upcoming opponent.

"I don't think it's his last fight," Bradley said of Manny Pacquiao's next fight against him as reported by Spin.ph. "But it all depends on the result. It's not my last fight, it's not mine."

But there are also rumors that the Manny Pacquiao - Timothy Bradley fight happening in three months will not be the last for the Filipino boxer.

It started when Top Rank CEO Bob Arum said that people can expect anything.

"I don't want to say that," he told Reuters when asked to reiterate if Manny Pacquiao's next fight will be his swan song.

"I'm not going to sell it as that because I don't want everybody to say: 'Hey, it's his last fight, come and see it!' and then it turns out that it's not his last fight.

"Who the hell knows with these guys? They all change their minds so I'm not selling it as his last fight. He says it's his last fight but who the hell knows?"

In response, Manny Pacquiao reiterated he will not fight again after Bradley.

"After my fight on April 9th, I'm going to retire from boxing," said the 37-year old Pacquiao according to PhilBoxing.com. "My April 9 fight against Timothy Bradley will be my last. I'm retiring from boxing to focus on my new job."

Pacman will reportedly leave the sport to focus on politics. He is set to run for a senatorial seat in his home country Philippines this May. He is currently serving as congressman of the province of Saranggani.
