MANNY PACQUIAO has been installed as the mandatory challenger to the soon-to-be-crowned World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight champion.
According to Rod Nazario, Pacquiao?s business manager, boxing man Rudy Salud convinced WBC president Jose Sulaiman to give the Filipino boxing hero a shot at the winner of a title rematch between Briton Michael Brodie and Korean Injin Chi.
Pacquiao is the reigning International Boxing Federation superbantamweight champion but holds no world titles at the 126-lb. division despite his 11th-round destruction of Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera, who is unofficially regarded as the best featherweight in the world.
