Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte is not holding his breath on the scenario of landing a mandatory crack at WBC world champion Tyson Fury.
Fury captured the title on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with a seven round stoppage of Deontay Wilder.
Whyte, who holds the WBC interim-title, is the mandatory challenger to the belt. Fury has to face Whyte by February of 2021.
Wilder has 30 days to exercise his right to an immediate rematch, which would take place in the summer.
If Wilder takes a pass on a third fight, then Fury would like to have a unification with IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO king Anthony Joshua.
Not so fast, says Whyte, who believes Joshua and other options should wait in line.
"Listen, he should be fighting me next, regardless of whatever he thinks, whatever AJ thinks," said Whyte to Sky Sports.
"I deserve it. I've worked hard for my title shot and I keep fighting and I keep risking my position. I've been No 1 contender for ages now. They should fight no-one else, apart from me. I've done everything that is required of me, so now it's my turn. I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't already started talking about the [Anthony Joshua] fight. Fury won't face me, unless he gets put in a position, where he has to face me.
"Listen, we've already tried to make the fight with Fury already for the 'Diamond' belt at the time Deontay Wilder was champion. The WBC 'Diamond' belt is a higher ranked belt than the WBC regular world title. Fury asked for that, the WBC gave me and him the belt, and then he turned the fight down.
"Everybody is going to be: 'He just beat Wilder.' That don't mean sh-t. This is boxing and styles make fights. Tyson Fury knows I've got what it takes to beat him. Fury moves his head well, but he's got a big body. Keep targeting his body and back him up. You have to lay leather on him and hit him hard to the body. That's where you wear him down. If you hit him to the body hard enough and consistent enough you break him down."
