Eddie Hearn is aiming to tee up Conor Benn with a 2022 fight against Adrien Broner.
Benn fights tonight against Chris Algieri, a former world champion who is expected to be the Briton’s toughest opponent yet.
The fight will be shown around the world on DAZN, and the Matchroom head wants another international opponent in the former world champion.
A win on Saturday would be Benn’s third of a successful year, and 20 over the course of an unbeaten career.
“Algieri beat Ruslan Provodnikov to win the light welterweight championship and went on to have a life and death fight with Amir Khan and a points decision loss to Manny Pacquiao,” Hearn wrote for the BBC.
“He has faced competition far more experienced and elite than Conor. The American made this trip with his team not for the financial gain, but for the opportunity to box in the UK and the true belief that he will be too savvy for the young, aggressive Londoner as he continues his march to the welterweight world title..
"It really is a classic match up of youth versus experience. It's the ultimate crossroads fight. Conor just needs to be patient in there, not get overwhelmed by the occasion and deliver for himself and for British fight fans."
Hearn had considered either Amir Khan or Kell Brook depending on who won their fight, but he does not see a future for either of the veterans after that clash.
"If Conor's successful on Saturday, there's talk of him potentially fighting the winner of Khan versus Kell Brook,” he began.
“To be honest I tried so hard to make the Benn v Khan fight, but I don't think either of those guys will continue in the sport after their fight next year. I look instead at a potential fight with Adrien Broner.
“It would be amazing to bring 'The Problem' to the UK in what would be a huge arena fight. We've seen recently though the danger of overlooking opponents and Conor must be completely focused on the test of Algieri.”
