A bigger and stronger Tim Tszyu will hunt more prized scalps and monster pay days after retiring American great Errol Spence Jr and leaving the super-welterweight ranks behind.
Tszyu's career-saving unanimous points win over Spence on Sunday has elevated Australia's former WBO world champion back to the top of the boxing tree.
The 31-year-old welcomed talk of a world-title crack at Erislandy Lara or a potential grudge match with Jermell Charlo, the American who has twice reneged on Tszyu.
"A hundred per cent," Tszyu said.
"I do want to rest. But I do want to kick ass as well.
"I definitely want to make some super fights happen again."
Tszyu would love another blockbuster in Australia - and No Limit Boxing boss George Rose will move heaven and earth to make that happen after the hometown hero sold out Sydney's Afterpay Arena.
"We love going to America and being part of big fights, but what today showed was that Australia can do those big fights," Rose said.
"We can compare to the big experience overseas. The difference is you've got 12,000 Australians cheering for you.
"We just need to get the support to get those big stars out here."
Wherever and whoever he fights next, though, Tszyu is intent on slugging it out in the higher middleweight division for the foreseeable future.
"That's the first thing he (Spence) said, was that my physicality was the difference," he said.
"I was starving myself to get to 154 (pounds) and I feel a big difference at 160. I just feel much stronger.
"One of my big things is strength, being able to bully my opponents, and I felt like that's what I did."
Full of praise for his new trainer, four-division world championship-winning Australian legend Jeff Fenech, the Sydney slayer believes he will only improve further after more fights in their partnership.
"I think I can do better. I need to let my hands go a bit more," Tszyu said.
"I felt like I could've stopped him. I felt like it was there for the taking but, look, I'm pretty happy with beating a legend.
"Errol Spence and one of the biggest fights of Australian boxing history, it's pretty cool.
"I don't think it's sunk in yet."
Despite his dominant victory, Tszyu admitted fearing he might have been out of his league against the former unified welterweight champ, who announced his retirement following Sunday's loss.
"I was nervous because there was so much on the line," he said. "I woke up at 4am, my mind was racing.
"I was thinking, 'What am I going to do if I lose? Do I really want to do this and feel these 4am feelings? Sleepless nights thinking about, 'Man, am I in my depths? What am I going to be feeling like facing a legend like that?'
"But when you put in that hard work and a lifetime of sacrifice, it makes up for everything."
