Amir Khan says he is looking to face Devon Alexander or Robert Guerrero in England before the end of the year.
The Bolton boxer, 27, believes meeting one of them could serve as a warm-up to a possible fight next year with Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather.
"Those fights can definitely happen in the future but I need a 'tickover fight' in December," he told the BBC.
"I would like it to be in England and I am trying to get it over here. If not it could be America, or even Dubai."
"We were looking at Manny Pacquiao, but that fell through. We looked at Mayweather but that didn't happen because of Ramadan," he told BBC North West Tonight.
"Opponent-wise we have looked at a few names, such as Devon Alexander or Robert Guerrero, but we have not confirmed anything just yet. We have to make sure they are available at the time. "
