To prepare for his March 13 date with boxing's pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, Joshua Clottey will be setting up camp in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. beginning this weekend.

Clottey's manager Vinny Scolpino says, "Joshua is in great fighting shape right now. He is anxious to get into th ering against Pacquiao."

The fight will take place at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium on HBO PPV while tickets went on sale this past weekend.

On a related note, Top Rank will be making a $1 donation for each ticket sold for all of their cards for the remainder of 2010 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. The donations officially began this Saturday night for the Lopez/Gamboa doubleheader in New York.

"Helping people is the right thing to do and we are hoping other promoters will join us," Arum said.
