Vargas (27-1-0) confirmed he is in talks with Pacquiao’s camp to hold a fight on November 5 at the Thomas & Mack Centre arena in Las Vegas.
“The fight is still under negotiation and I can say that soon we will announce it, although I do not want to advance because in boxing everything can change every minute,” Vargas said.
Undefeated Terence Crawford has also been named as potential opponent for Pacquiao, who is likely to return to the ring later this year according to his promoter Bob Arum.
