Chris Billam-Smith says he believes he could beat unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, if he moved up from cruiserweight.
The Ukrainian was undisputed at cruiserweight before moving up, and after a two-bout series with Anthony Joshua, Usyk is the unified IBF, WBA and WBO title holder.
He is set to fight Daniel Dubiois this August and is rumoured to be lining up an undisputed clash with Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia this December, but that is far from certain.
Billam-Smith, asa WBO champion, would be entitled to be a mandatory for the governing body should he step up in weight.
He told Sky Sports: "We'll see [regarding his next move at cruiserweight] or I'll just move up and fight the Usyk vs Dubois winner as the mandatory for the WBO. The options are there, thankfully.
"For me it's very much about securing my son's future financially. I mean Usyk's a phenomenal fighter but he's not a massive heavyweight. But if it was Tyson Fury, it'd be different. I'm also a fighter, I believe I'll beat anyone and give anyone problems in any weight.
"That's just the way I think every fighter is when they have that belief, but never say never. But, for now, I think I'll be staying at cruiserweight."
