Undefeated Oscar Rivas has come out fighting as he prepared to take on Dillian Whyte - but already he has eyes for someone else.
The Colombian will go to battle on July 20 at the o2 Arena and is untouchable as a professional.
It is accepted that Whyte has taken a big risk by accepting a fight with solid puncher Rivas.
He says he will fight the 31-year-old British-Jamaican is because of his number one world ranking - and the rewards on offer for victory.
"That's the main reason why I took that fight," Rivas told Sky Sports.

"That ranking is really important and I want people to know me. With a known name as Dillian Whyte and a good ranking like that, that's the two main reasons why I took this fight.
"I see myself in a world championship fight soon. I'm going to concentrate on that fight, but a win over Whyte, I'll show that I have the tools to fight either Joshua, Fury, Wilder, all the great champions.
"I can definitely see myself with a star like Joshua."

Rivas himself hasn't held back and beat Bryant Jennings in January.
"Whyte is a really strong guy, but I think with my technique, my speed, my power, my experience, I'm going to get on top," he Rivas.
"That's a guy that I can beat, but he's strong, so I have to be very well prepared, and I will be.
"It's going to be an explosive fight. I cannot wait until the bell rings and then I'm going to make sure that I'm going to continue my rise.
"I know that Whyte is going to try to make me lose my first fight, but it won't happen. I don't give predictions, but I can say this, I'm going to be the last man standing."
