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.

As for Lomachenko, the Ukrainian will have his next fight on May 12 against WBA lightweight champion Jorge Linares.
