Deontay Wilder is willing to leave America for a "major fight" after being linked with a WBC title defence in Britain, says promoter Lou DiBella.
The American dismissed an offer to defend his WBC heavyweight belt against Dillian Whyte this week, but the 'Bronze Bomber' has also been targeted by Tony Bellew.
A huge unification clash with Anthony Joshua is unlikely to take place until next year at the earliest, with 'AJ' set to face Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch before a mandatory IBF title defence against Kubrat Pulev.
Wilder must also fulfil a mandatory title defence with Bermane Stiverne, but promoter DiBella insists the unbeaten 31-year-old would always consider a lucrative fight on foreign soil.
"For a major fight or the right opportunity, Deontay has no hesitation to travel as he proved when he was on his way to Russia," said DiBella, who helps to guide Wilder's career.
There is not going to be a hesitation to take the biggest fights. He is not going to be scared off by leaving the country. He has never been scared off by it.
"We are willing to travel for a big enough event. We would come over if the economic situation and the deal made sense.
"There is not going to be a hesitation to take the biggest fights. He is not going to be scared off by leaving the country. He has never been scared off by it."
