Frank Warren says the winner of Daniel Dubois vs Nathan Gorman this weekend is likely on course for another all-British showdown with Joe Joyce later this year.
Rio 2016 silver medalist Joyce, 33, is being fast-tracked to the top of the heavyweight division and will take another step up against Bryant Jennings as chief support at the O2 Arena on Saturday.
Joyce, 9-0, is considered a rising heavyweight star whilst the winner of the grudge match between Dubois and Gorman will also propel them to world level.
Promoter Frank Warren says a clash between the winners of the top two bouts on Saturday's card is likely to take place later this year and narrow down the list of heavyweight contenders aiming to break into the world title picture.
Warren said: “There is a lot of jostling going on in the heavyweight division.
"This time next year he (Joe) will be right in the thick of it and when he does get his chance he’ll be going in to win and remain champion.
“Joe against Daniel or Nathan would be a tremendous all-British clash for the tail end of the year and a fight I would love to see.
“Right now we have two special fights this weekend. Four fighters, Joe, Bryant Jennings, Daniel and Nathan in two great fights.
“All of them have serious world title aspirations and fans are making a case for each of them winning their fights.
“After Saturday, the picture will be a lot clearer about what will be next for all four. One thing for sure, two of them will be in the world title picture.
“These are heavyweight fights that make people want to watch boxing and include the three best heavyweight prospects in the world.”
