Manila, Philippines - The Department of Tourism (DOT) is negotiating for the staging of the rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Jeff Horn of Australia.
DOT Secretary Wanda Teo said the department is currently in talks with Pacquiao's camp for the possible rematch, to be held in the Philippines.
The announcement came despite the confirmation of Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk that the fight will be held anew in their city in November.
"I have had a meeting earlier today which has confirmed that Mann Pacquiao will definitely be in Brisbane this year for a rematch with Jeff Horn," Quirk said.
Horn defeated Pacquiao via unanimous decision last July 2 at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia winning the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title.
