Daniel Dubois boasts an 18-1 professional record

Anderson, 22, is targeting a big name for his next bout, and reckons that Dubois could fit the bill.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “I would love to fight a lot of people.

“Filip Hrgovic, Carlos Takam, Daniel Dubois, there’s a million names I could name, a lot of different people.

“All the contenders, prospects, all the ones coming out, Luis Ortiz, Andy Ruiz, all them, anybody. I’d love to fight anybody.”

Further quizzed about Dubois in particular, he added: “I love that fight.

“I watched his Joe Joyce fight, I seen why he lost. He’s still a decent fighter though.

“You can’t count him out. I believe I beat him in good fashion if I don’t stop him.”

Anderson has won all 12 of his professional fights via knockout.

He had been due to fight Christian Hammer at Wembley in April on the Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte undercard, only to succumb to injury.

Anderson was back in action last month against Serbian Miljan Rovcanin – taking just two rounds to clinch victory.

Grading his latest display, he said: “I gave myself a C+, maybe a B- at the most.

“I know my capabilities and what I’m good at. I think I’ve got so much more room to grow and so much more to accomplish.”

Dubois, meanwhile, was last in action in June when he defeated Trevor Bryan in Miami to win the WBA regular heavyweight title.

Triple D boasts an 18-1 record, his 2020 defeat to Joyce remaining the only blemish on an otherwise perfect resume.
