Manny Pacquiao showed no signs of slowing down even on Christmas as he continued his training camp in Los Angeles three weeks before his title fight against American challenger Adrien Broner.
Pacquiao went back to work upon his arrival in the US and he brought his eldest son Jimuel with him apart from the usual members of his team during his morning workout.

Boxing’s only eight-division champion will make his keenly-awaited return on US soil more than two years since he dominated Jessie Vargas in Las Vegas.
The 40-year-old Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs) is defending his WBA (regular) welterweight belt against a much younger Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs), a former champion in four different weight classes.
Pacquiao is coming off an impressive showing against Argentine fighter Lucas Matthysse five months ago in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where he delivered his first knockout win since stopping Puerto Rican legend Miguel Cotto in the 12th round in 2009.
The fighting senator began his training exactly a month ago in Manila.
