CERRITOS, California – A popular Filipino restaurant got a special visit from an unlikely boxing champion.

Timothy Bradley Jr. paid a visit to the Leelin bakery in Cerritos two weeks after losing to Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.

Bradley was all smiles as he greeted Filipino fans at the restaurant.

"I call them family," Bradley said. "They show so much love and support, man. Even when I went back home, all the Filipino community where I live embraced me and showed a lot of love and respect."

Bradley has been enjoying the time off since losing to Pacquiao earlier this month. He is planning to return to the ring, but has no opponents in mind yet.

"I've been spending a lot of time with my kids and my wife, my family," he said. "I'm kind of just unwinding a bit. I've been eating everything in sight, enjoying my life."

"We'll come back at the end of the year," he added. "I'm not sure when, though."

Hundreds of fight fans including many Filipinos came to meet Bradley, who does know one Pinoy phrase.

"Mahal kita," Bradley said, to wide applause.

Aside from taking pictures and signing memorabilia, Bradley also took the time to converse with fans.

Bradley then expressed his support for the "Pacman," who is campaigning for a seat in the Philippine Senate.
