Confident Brandon Rios insists he is relishing being the underdog and predicts he will shock the world by beating Manny Pacquiao when they clash in China on November 23.
Pacquiao, the first and only eight-division world champion, faces Rios for the vacant WBO international welterweight title in Macau and starts the fight as a heavy favourite despite losing his last two fights.
But Rios (31-1-1 23KOs) believes he can pull off a major shock against 34-year-old Pacquiao.
