Pacquiao is the heavy favourite for this clash, with the vastly more experienced competitor sporting a frightening record of 59 wins (38 by knockout), six losses and two draws.
The 38-year-old has previously retired from boxing however, and speculation is rife that a shock loss here would see him give up the sport for good.
Horn may not yet have the pedigree of his opponent, but his record of 16 wins, one draw and no losses is not to be sneezed at. He’s taken down some quality opponents over the last year, but an upset win here would catapult the 29-year-old to a new level.
The undercard broadcast will get underway at 11am (AEST), with the main fight scheduled to start at roughly 1:45pm.
