Former eight weight classes champion Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs) wants to cross gloves with one of the best boxers of our time - Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs) - before the end of his career.

On July 8 in Malaysia, Pacquiao will face WBA light welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse.

"Bob Arum is invited to my fight with Matthysse and I think after the fight we will discuss the possibility of having a duel with Lomachenko. Matthysse is a champion, and I will have an opportunity to win the title again. This is an excellent chance," said Pacquiao.
