American prospect Errol Spence says he is happy to travel to the UK to fight Kell Brook, once he has got past Chris Algieri.
The American known as 'The Truth' takes on former world champion Algieri in New York on Saturday night, promising to remain undefeated with an "exciting, one-sided" win.
Spence (19-0-KO16) expects a victory to propel him up the IBF welterweight rankings and admits he wants to fight the division's current world champion, Brook.
"I think I will be the new IBF No 1 challenger once I win this and hopefully I will get a crack at Kell Brook," he told Sky Sports.
"That's a fight I am looking forward to. I am looking at everyone who holds a world title but I would look forward to a Kell Brook fight if I get that mandatory position."
Brook and promoter, Eddie Hearn, are trying to secure a big-name fight after three mandatory defences since taking the title from Shawn Porter in August 2014.
Amir Khan's decision to take on Saul Alvarez on May 7, and the delayed fight between WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman and Porter has not helped.
Hearn says he is already looking at the likes of Danny Garcia and even Adrien Broner, but would rather bring the big names to Britain and Spence, who was an Olympian at London 2012, is happy to travel to take on Brook.
"I'd go anywhere to fight, it doesn't matter," Spence added. "I've seen Kell fight and he can fight. He's good and it'd be a good fight. He's got a good one-two.
"I think 147lbs is the best division in boxing. From top to bottom they've got good fighters and we're all young, so we are going to be around for a while."
At just 26, Spence is already topping the bill at the iconic Barclays Center, Brooklyn, against Algieri (21-2-KO8), who lost a decision to Khan at welterweight last May.
The Texan southpaw admits it is the toughest test of his career to date but is ready to prove he is as good as many people are saying.
"Algiers is a big name and former world champion but I am not expecting too much from him though," he said.
"Against any boxer I face, whatever he does we will be ready. I will be ready for anything Chris Algieri brings to the table.
"I'm going to put on a great performance. Winning is enough but I want to - and will - put one a one-sided performance. I've finally got the headline spot, so it's a great opportunity for me.
"It doesn't bring any extra pressure onto me, it won't faze me. When the lights turn on I turn on, so I'll to go.
