BEFORE the much-awaited fight of the “People’s Champion” Manny Pacquiao in the “The Battle of Brisbane: Pacquiao vs. Horn” on July 2, get to know his opponent first, Jeff Horn, known in the boxing circles as the “Brisbane Hornet” in a two-part special airing on S+A this Monday and Tuesday at 9 p.m.

“Jeff Horn: Brisbane Hornet” will focus on the sensational rise of the Australian boxer, who was a P.E. teacher before he decided to put on his gloves full-time and then competed for the flag in the 2011 World Boxing Championships after being named the Australian champion in 2009 and 2011.

After fighting in the 2012 London Olympics, he went pro and set an impressive record of 16 wins, no losses, and one draw with 11 knockouts. See what the fuss on Pacquiao’s next foe is about as S+A features Horn’s fights against former IBF welterweight contender Rico Mueller of Germany on June 26 at 9pm, and against former IBO welterweight champion Ali Funeka of South Africa on June 27, also at 9 p.m. on S+A.

With his recent sensational wins, Horn hopes to upset all-time great Pacquiao when they face each other on July 2 at the Suncorp Stadium in his hometown of Brisbane, Australia.

ABS-CBN acquired the exclusive rights to the pay broadcast of the “The Battle of Brisbane” in a deal between ABS-CBN Sports and the Pacquiao camp forged last June 9.
