Joe Joyce, who earlier this year scored a knockout of Joseph Parker to capture the WBO's interim-title at heavyweight, is aiming to fight the winner of a potential clash with Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury and Usyk, should a deal get reached, will battle for the undisputed crown with the WBC, IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO titles at stake.
Joyce would love to get a measure of revenge against his amateur rival, Usyk.
When the two were amateurs, Usyk won a five round decision over Joyce in the World Series of Boxing.
Usyk would eventually win a gold medal in 2012 Olympic games and move on to the pros, where he became the undisputed cruiserweight champion in 2018, and then the unified heavyweight champion in 2021.
Joyce won an Olympic silver medal in 2016, and now hopes to become a world champion in the pros.
The bigger man believes his workrate, combined with punching power, will be the undoing of Usyk.
"He's a tricky boxer and I'm coming for him," Joyce said to Sky Sports. "It'll be an exciting fight because he can live with me till the 12th round. He showed that against Joshua. However Joshua wasn't throwing as many punches as I would.
"When someone hasn't got power I tend to step in. With Usyk it's about landing the punches. He sets traps, he's a very tricky boxer and moves his head, good footwork and steps in and out of range avoiding shots so he's quite hard to hit. So you can have as much punch power as you want but if you're not landing the shots then there's no point.
"But because I throw such a variety of shots, a lot of them will be the ones that get through and start wearing him down over the 12 rounds. I'm sure he won't be able to hack it after a certain point. He won't be able to keep up."
