"American Idol" runner-up Jessica Sanchez and young singer Kirby Asunto are set to sing US and the Phillipine national anthem, respectively, in the highly anticipated boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Sanchez, 16, took to Twitter to express how excited she is to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the mega fight.

"Singing the American National Anthem @ the Pacquiao fight this Saturday in Vegas! I am sooooooooo ecstatic!! :)," she tweeted.

In her interview with ABS-CBN, Asunto, 14, said she is as well thrilled to perform before thousands of boxing fanatics at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena, where the fight will be held, and millions of people who will be watching the bout at home through pay-per-view. She was reportedly handpicked by Pacquiao himself after she performed at the latter’s traditional post-fight concert last year.
