Joseph Parker could meet Joe Joyce next but is hoping for a Stateside fight against Andy Ruiz, Deontay Wilder or another US opponent.
The New Zealand boxer delivered two impressive wins over Derek Chisora in 2021 and has six wins on the bounce since 2018, when he lost his WBO belt to Anthony Joshua, and then suffered defeat at the hands of Dillian Whyte.
Parker is ranked No. 2 by the WBO with Joyce No. 1, with the former Olympian enjoying wins over Carlos Takam and Daniel Dubois before him.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Parker’s manager David Higgins explained that Joyce’s team were keen on a match-up.
"He fought Chisora and dominated him so his brand equity in the world and United Kingdom is at an all-time high," Higgins said.
"We almost feel like it is a home crowd and he's obviously been on a lot of big PPV shows in the UK as well.
"The question is 'who next?' Joseph has signalled that he'd like to fight as soon as humanly possible. A possible opponent is Joe Joyce.
"Joe Joyce is obviously ranked No. 1 with the WBO and Parker is ranked No. 2. We would not take him for granted, almost a 50/50 type fight which the fans would obviously love.
"The Joyce team have reached out to us and said they're going to make a written offer. Both sides have talked about May timing, so we'll see what that offer looks like.
"If we don't think their offer stacks up then I'll counter offer them more and we'll control promoting it. or co-promote with a third party.”
Higgins also suggested that a move to the US would appeal to Parker, to meet some of the bigger American heavyweight figures.
"I'm in the United States at the moment and Joseph Parker has signalled he'd like to do what Tyson Fury has done and go to America and beat Americans. Not many British have done that," he said.
"Joseph has said he'll fight any of the big name and high-ranked Americans from Deontay Wilder to Andy Ruiz to Luis Ortiz to Michael Hunter, any of them we would look at.
"It will be interesting to see if any of these big name Americans are willing to get in a ring with Joseph Parker because we certainly reached out and made it known the opportunity is there.
"My job now is to model up what the American opportunities would look like, but right now to model up what the Joe Joyce opportunity would look like, so it looks like we've got a few options."
