After capturing the WBA welterweight title with his first KO in nine years the Filipino legend has propelled himself back into a position for a big money fight.


And a showdown with British star Khan or Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko is top of his priorities.



Pacquiao said following his victory in Kuala Lumpur: “Yes that’s a potential opponent Amir Khan.


“There’s a lot of potential opponents there, like Lomachenko, there are so many fighters that have potential to be my opponent next.”

Pacquiao also said he would give Floyd Mayweather a shot at his WBA welterweight title in a rematch of their 2015 fight which he lost via a unanimous decision

And he is even allowing himself to dream of luring Floyd Mayweather out of retirement for a rematch.


Pacquiao lost via a unanimous decision to “Money” in 2015 in a Las Vegas mega-fight but he would be willing to defend his belt against the American.



He said: “Mayweather? If he decides to go back to boxing then that is the time we are going to call the shots.


“I have the belt, so it's up to him. If he wants to come back in boxing let's do a second one.



“My next fight, I want to defend my belt.”


One thing that certainly will not be stopping Pacquiao is his age as the veteran vowed to continue boxing into his 40s.


PacMan added: “If boxing is not my passion, I would not fight again.


“It’s like I’m addicted to boxing and I really love to fight and bring honour to my country.”
