World Welterweight Champion Abner Mares wants to fight against Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko.

According to the Mexican boxer, one should never be afraid of an opponent. And Lomachenko is no exception.

Yes, of course, I would like to meet with him. Many people say that I'm afraid of him. Not only me, but also other boxers. Actually it is not so. Maybe there are some fighters who do not want to go out against him in the ring, but they are few. You're never afraid. The fighter beats with anyone, "said Mares.

It is interesting that Lomachenko is currently negotiating with star Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. Lomachenko's recent successes were commented on by his promoter Bob Arum.

"Vasily is something unique, I see him as a special athlete and I'm sure that Lomachenko should become part of the history of boxing. I've been working in boxing for a long time and I've never seen anything like it. Vasily Lomachenko is a very special athlete. I want to see him in the battles with the best in lightweight. I am convinced that it will be something incredible! ", - quotes the words of Arum CBS Sports.

Recall that his last fight Lomachenko held against the Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux.
