Fury, who claimed the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring heavyweight titles with his shock victory over Wladimir Klitschko at the end of 2015, wants a rematch with the Ukrainian first and foremost - to confirm that their first meeting was no fluke and that he is the new dominant force in the division.

He then wants to face Deontay Wilder and Charles Martin, the two other boxers who still hold world titles in the division.

Victories over both would see Fury become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world - the first to hold that position since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

"The fights I want [in] 2016: Klitschko, Wilder, Martin," Fury wrote on Twitter, tagging those men into his post and adding: "Can we make these fights happen?"

Wilder is the WBC champion, filling the void after long-time holder Vitali Klitschko stepped away from the sport, while Martin is currently the IBF strapholder - after Fury was stripped of the belt for refusing to fight No. 1 contender Vyacheslav Glazkov and instead committing to a rematch with Klitschko.

Martin subsequently beat Glazkov in a showdown for the vacant bout - and has since been touted as a possible opponent for another British heavyweight, Anthony Joshua, in the near future.

The likes of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Mike Tyson have previously been considered the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
