Bob Arum is aiming to position Jared Anderson in line for a fight with Deontay Wilder.
Wilder fights this Saturday against Zhilei Zhang after his recent defeat to Joseph Parker, with the two heavyweights going at it live in Riyadh on DAZN.
Anderson has a 17-0 record and recently beat Ryad Merhy, and is yet to line up a new opponent.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Arum wants Wilder next if he beats Zhang,
He said: "Wilder has a very tough fight coming up on Saturday with Zhilei Zhang, and if he wins, sure, we'd love to do that fight because it would put Jared right up there among the top three or four heavyweights.”
He continued: "If Wilder is not available then we're going to look for the biggest possible opponent for Jared to fight.
"We want to start moving Jared along, I know he's young, but we really believe that he can compete with anybody in the heavyweight division.
"First we have to see who's available and then we'll make a decision. But right now, the plan is truly to fight Deontay Wilder.
"But again, I'm a little pessimistic about Wilder getting through the fight against Zhang."
