Joshua Clottey vs Manny Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey meet Saturday night with the WBO Welterweight title on the line. The bout will take place at Cowboys Stadium.

Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey

Lenny DeJesus has been around boxing for over 40 years. In that time he has had many roles – amateur boxer, bucket boy, stool man, adviser and cut man. But he is a locksmith by trade.

So DeJesus, who lives in the Bronx, knows a thing or two about keys and locks. And he has drawn an assignment that will test all his skills – inside and outside the ring.

DeJesus will be working Joshua Clottey’s corner as his trainer when the former welterweight champion takes on Manny Pacquiao, the No. 1 “pound-for-pound” fighter, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Saturday night.

It is the first fight for Manny Pacquiao since he beat Miguel Cotto in November.

He must find the right combination for Clottey (35-3, 21 KOs) against Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs), who has been unstoppable for the last two years. Compounding the difficulty, DeJesus was a late replacement when Clottey’s longtime trainer Godwin Kotey had trouble getting a visa to travel from Ghana to the U.S. Read full story here
