The head of the promotion company Top Rank Bob Arum, who no longer works with ex-world champion in eight weight classes Manny Pacquiao, said that his former ward could still fight the WBO super lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko.

"When we worked with Manny, he told me about the desire to fight Loma - instead of Lucas Matthysse Pacquiao wanted to fight in the summer of 2018 with Lomachenko. We discussed this issue with Anatoly Lomachenko, but he preferred first to have a fight for his son in 135 pounds - this is his methodical approach. Manny has some difficulties in choosing opponents, as there are too many advisers around him, but there are still chances of Pacquiao's fight - Vasyl Lomachenko," Arum said.
