WBC junior welterweight titlist Viktor Postol (28-0, 12KOs) is looking for a significant fight in 2016 and a match-up that would be intriguing is a unification bout with WBO belt-holder Terence Crawford (28-0, 12KOs).
"I have interest in fighting Crawford," said Postol through is manager Vadim Kornilov on Saturday morning.
"June is an option we would consider as far as the date."
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who promotes both boxers, told BoxingScene.com earlier in the week that Crawford - who stopped Hank Lundy last week in five rounds at The Theater in New York's Madison Square Garden - would be slated to return on a date in June in Los Angeles.
"I definitely think this would be a great fight, it would be a competitive fight. It'll be interesting for the network and the fans,''stated Postol, who won his title by scoring a tenth round TKO of Lucas Matthysse back in October.
Regardless of who he will face next Postol says,"I'm in shape, I'm training and I'm ready to go as early as May or whenever.
Kornilov says,"We're planning to bring Viktor to the United States by the end of the month."
