Devin Haney has already plotted his next fight if he beats Ryan Garcia.
Haney is currently preparing for his blockbuster dust-up with Garcia as he looks to make a successful defence of his WBC Super-lightweight title and quickly move on to unification clashes later this year.
One fighter who is keen to touch gloves with the American is Isaac Cruz, who has been endorsed by heavyweight legend Mike Tyson as the fighter most similar to his style.
Cruz has suggested he would be open to fight Haney if he edges past Garcia, and the WBC champion has insisted he will explore it immediately if he wins.
“I like when guys call me out because it makes for good fights to happen if he’s really serious,” he said.
“That’s a fight I’ll explore once I’m victorious vs Ryan Garcia on April 20.
“It wouldn’t be no different – I would make him look mediocre like I do to these guys. It’s not easy, I just make it look that way.”
Cruz defeated Rolly Romero in his last outing to become the WBA Super-lightweight champion stopping the fight in the eighth round.
Haney has yet to be beaten in his professional career and has outclassed some top names including Vasyl Lomachenko, Jorge Linares and George Kambosos.
The test of Garcia will be huge next month, given his bitter rival will be looking to respond to his defeat over Gervonta Davis.
It is an intriguing clash given the pair met six times in the amateur ranks, with three wins apiece.
But the 25-year-old is confident there will be no need for a second meeting as professionals, as he intends to make a huge statement.
Haney said: “I’m going to beat the s*** out of him. I’m going to beat him so bad we won’t need a rematch.
“The world won’t want to see a rematch. But I have respect for Ryan. We shared the ring six times as kids, we came up together.
“But over [the promotion], I have lost a lot of respect for him. I am a true professional in everything that I do.
“This guy is a f***ing clown – him and his family. And I’m getting this guy out of boxing.”
