Manny Pacquiao set for WBO defence

Pacquiao to face Bradley

Manny Pacquiao has agreed to defend his WBO welterweight title against Timothy Bradley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on June 9.

The 33-year-old is now waiting on Bradley's promoter Top Rank to finialise the details.

Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's adviser, told ESPN.com: "From our end, the fight is done. I don't assume there will be a problem from the Bradley side.

"We came to terms with Top Rank on the fight and Manny has approved everything."

Negotiations over a potential bout between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jnr fell through when the fighters could not agree on a date.
