Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is expected to arrive next Thursday, Oct. 7, in Baguio City, Philippines, where he will train and spar with Manny Pacquiao, as the two fighters prepare for upcoming fights, according to Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz.
The 24-year-old Chavez (40-0-1, 30 knockouts) will face Alfonso Gomez (22-4-2, 11 KOs) on Dec. 4 at The Pond in Anaheim, Calif., this after having been an early consideration to meet WBA junior middleweight king Miguel Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs) on that date.
The 31-year-old Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs), already the WBO welterweight (147 pounds) champion, will pursue his eighth crown in as many different weight classes opposite former titlist Antonio Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) of Mexico when they clash in an HBO pay-per-view televised bout for the WBC's vacant junior middleweight crown on Nov. 13 at Cowboys Stadium.
