Cuban dangerman Frank Sanchez Faure would face Anthony Joshua "immediately", but will soon rise past Britain's heavyweights, says co-manager Michael Borao.

The unbeaten 27-year-old blasted out Victor Bisbal last month, his 13th straight victory in under two years, and he will resume his relentless march up the rankings in November.

Co-manager Borao says Sanchez Faure is not daunted by the prospect of facing any UK-based rivals, even the likes of Joshua, and is confident Cuba's former amateur champion will fulfil his potential as a professional.

Borao told Sky Sports: "Frank would consider a fight against one of UK's big names immediately, especially Anthony Joshua, however, the more likely scenario for Frank is to continue making a name for himself fighting on US television over the next 12 months.

"Frank is only 13-0 yet has already fought in front of millions of people on FOX and won the NABO title.

"He will fight on US television again in November and I believe will quickly advance past other prospects in the US and UK because of his incredible amateur pedigree, combination of speed, power, and an unmatched desire to win."
