Xander Zayas is looking ahead to a fight with Josh Kelly after he fights Patrick Teixeira on Saturday evening.
The two fight live on ESPN ( in the US ) at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, with Zayas one of the most promising young fighters around.
With a 17-0 record to build on, Zayas is not complacent.
"I know I'm ready, it's something I've been wanting, not trying to look past Patrick Teixeira, but we're ready for those names," he told Sky Sports .
However, he made it clear he is plotting for other fights, adding: "We're ready for Josh Kelly and Erickson Lubin. I'm ready for them after this fight, whoever it is I'm going to show why I'm one of the best 154lb-ers in the world.
"I've been wanting to fight Kelly for a long time, we can probably make it for December for an elimination to see the guy who will fight Sebastian Fundora."
He added: "[Kelly] has a lot of experience, he has great ring IQ, he's a pure boxer, knows distance, has great speed, but I feel I have better skills, IQ, better corner and overall a better fighter.
"No disrespect to him or his team, but if we get the fight going it will be an amazing fight. Hopefully we can do it here in New York or out there in London.
"To Josh Kelly, I hope we can make a fight happen some time soon after this fight. I think we're both ready for that next step up, this is the opportunity we need."
