JOE JOYCE has opened the door to a bumper all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua.
The Juggernaut is now the leading contender to face unified WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Joe Joyce is eyeing several big-money fights after knocking out Joseph Parker
Anthony Joshua is one man he wants to face in an all-British showdown
The 37-year-old delivered an hellacious left hook to knock out Joseph Parker on Saturday in the 11th round to secure the interim title from the WBO.
Joshua had been in talks with WBC champ Tyson Fury over a December scrap, but the Gypsy King says that is now off after his rival failed to meet his Monday deadline to sign the contract.
Fury is now set to defend against German Mahmoud Charr, while Usyk is taking time off and is not expected to return to the ring until next year.
Joyce is expecting Usyk to be his next opponent, but he also has his eyes on several other big bouts, including a clash with his old sparring partner AJ.
He told Sky Sports: “Why not? That’s a massive fight, massive stadium fight on British soil or maybe in Saudi – I don’t know, that’s how it seems to be going these days as money talks.
“It’s a business and it’s entertainment.
“[Dillian Whyte] would be a great fight. It could be a slug-fest. There’s many ways I could fight him.
“I’ve always wanted to be in this position and now I’m here. I still don’t feel like I’m quite there where I want to be. I think I’ve still got a few more levels and more gears to go through.

“I’m just excited that I’m finally getting the recognition that I deserve.”
Joyce, who is now 15-0, added: “I just want to be secure as world champion, heavyweight champion and then can go either for more belts or be in bigger fights.
“They [Fury and Joshua] just need to hurry up and just get it on.
“Enough of them, I’ll fight whoever, I’ll fight anyone in the top five and I’m ready and I’m willing to take the toughest test.”
