World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko said he believes that Floyd Mayweather will fight Manny Pacquiao.

Fans and media have been clamoring for the fight to take place for years, but various reported obstacles have prevented Pacquio and Mayweather from meeting in the ring.

"I think this fight will happen because the demand is so strong, and eventually [those] guys are going to be forced to do this fight, Pacquiao and Mayweather, and we're all looking forward to it," Klitschko said on SI Now Thursday.

Klitschko was asked who he thinks would win the fight. "Tough to say," he said. "They're both great."

Klitschko will face Bryant Jennings at Madison Square Garden on April 25.
