Jarrell Miller says he should challenge new WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker and has mocked fellow title contenders Hughie Fury and David Price.
Parker's promoters will hold further talks in January about his first title defence, which is expected to take place on April 8, and their shortlist of possible opponents includes Fury, Price and Miller.
The unbeaten American confirmed that he is one of the options for Top Rank supremo Bob Arum, who has entered into a co-promotional deal with Parker, and questioned whether Fury is mandatory challenger for the New Zealander.
"Everything everyone is hearing is true," Miller exclusively told Sky Sports. "Bob Arum does have me in mind to fight Joseph Parker for the WBO title, but of course these bums come out of the woodwork now, because Joseph Parker didn't look so great in his last fight.
Everybody is trying to get a shot at him now when they don't deserve it
"Everybody is trying to get a shot at him now when they don't deserve it.
"First one comes to mind is Hughie Fury. It seems he wants nothing to do with me, so all of a sudden they say he's mandatory - he's not mandatory."
Price has also been contacted about a potential fight with Parker and Miller was quick to dismiss the Liverpudlian's hopes of landing a world title fight.
Miller said: "David Price who? Mr bozo, chinny man? Come on, this guy has got to get a couple of wins under his belt against top 10 contenders, or at least get his name out there before he can be considered for a world title shot.
"I think that's ludicrous at this point, even to put me and his name in the same sentence is ridiculous right now."
The New Yorker is yet to fight outside his home country, but insists he would not be worried about travelling to Parker's home country.
"I would go anywhere to go fight that bum," said Miller. "I don't care if it's in New Zealand, I don't care if it's in Botswana, I don't care if it's in Morocco, I don't care if it's in Vegas, or on his doorstep.
"I'm going to find that boy and beat him."
