"Bill And Ted 3" release date is yet to be officially announced but Keanu Reeves has hinted that the sequel is happening and it is close.

In a recent interview with IGN, Reeves said, "We're closer, but no closer. It's really amazing how that can work. We're like closer to the dough, but not closer."

"We're closer to the script but we're not closer," Reeves added. "We're closer, but we're not closer. But we're still trying to get close to be there."

Also recently, Reeves showed support to Manny Pacquiao prior to the Filipino boxer's fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. After paying Pacquiao a visit, Reeves told ABS-CBN News of Pacquiao, "I'm really excited. I've been watching him for many years and he's such a great champion and from the outside, he's a remarkable person from what's he's doing."

Dubbed as "The Fight Of The Century" or "Battle For Greatness," the Pacquiao-Mayweather Jr. fight will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 2, Saturday.

While Pacquiao is currently the eight-division world champion, Mayweather Jr.  is an undefeated five-division world champion.

As appointed by the Nevada Athletic Commission, the in-ring referee in the highly anticipated fight is Kenny Bayless, who has officiated seven of Pacquiao's fights and five of Mayweather Jr.'s fights in the past.

Valued at $1 million, the belt for the winner of the fight newly created by the WBC contains the faces of both Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. along with the faces of boxing legend Muhammad Ali and former WBC president José Sulaimán.

While it is an exact replica of the current belt, the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight belt has thousands of emeralds instead of the gold plating for the center logo.
