Manny Pacquiao has touched down Down Under to promote his fight with Australian Jeff Horn. 

Pac Man is set to fight Horn at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane as the  Filipino once again puts his WBO World welterweight title on the line. 

It will be the first bout Pacquiao has ever contested in Australia, and to mark the occasion, the 38-year-old headed to Brisbane to promote the fight using all things Australian. 

Pacquiao was pictured cuddling with a koala bear, while he also posed with a kangeroo as he did his best impression of every student on gap year in the southern hemisphere. 

He also met crowds of people who had come to see him, as he spoke to reporters and found time to do some filming on Kangeroo Point. 

 The southpaw-star then put on an open workout to draw in the crowds, shadow boxing in a ring that basked in the Brisbane sunshine. 

 Speaking to the Australian press, Pacquiao was his usual confident self as he was asked what advantages he had over his challenger.

'Experience,' was his short but honest reply. 

'I don't like to boast myself, but people know my track record.' 

Manny Pacquiao will face Horn on July 2 in Brisbane in front of a 52,500-capacity stadium.
