Elie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos. A 26-year-old flyweight (115 pounds) prospect from Japan, Takashi Okada (3-0-1, one knockout) aims to become to his country what eight-division king Manny Pacquiao (53-2-1, 38 KOs) is to his native Philippines.
Promoted by Top Rank Promotions, Pacquiao (pictured at right) owns the WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) belt and will defend his WBO welterweight (147 pounds) title against Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) on May 7 in an HBO pay-per-view televised bout.
FanHouse spoke to Okada at the Maywood Boxing Club in Calif.
