The undisputed champion is interested in a potential fight with Kell Brook.

Undisputed super lightweight champion Josh Taylor hasn't shut the door completely on a potential clash with Kell Brook.

Following his win over rival Amir Khan last month, the former IBF welterweight champion has been linked with some of British boxing's biggest names if he decides to lace up the gloves once more. 

Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr are just some of the names that have been mentioned, but now it seems like Taylor is also in the mix. 

However, while Taylor is open to a fight with Brook, he believes a catchweight contest at 149lbs is simply too big.

"I'm not sure, anyone that's a big fight," Taylor told Sky Sports.

"I just want to be in big fights now. Coming into the last three-four years of my career now, I'm not going to be here for much longer so I want to be in big fights.

"I feel I've deserved the opportunity to be involved in big fights now for a good few years as a pro.

"I've fought all the best, world challengers, and come up the hard way, so I'm looking forward to being involved in big fights.

"That (149lbs) high maybe a little bit too big, but we'll see how it goes.

"You know what I'm like, I'll fight anybody and I'm not scared to fight anyone, so we'll see how it goes, as long as it's a big fight I'm here for it."

Following his controversial points win over Jack Catterall, Taylor is looking to move up to welterweight and face the likes of WBO champion Terence Crawford.
