Dillian Whyte delivers his verdict on possible next opponents as he plots his path to a world heavyweight title fight.

'The Body Snatcher' is within touching distance of a fight against one of the world champions after he strengthened his place in the rankings with an explosive knockout of Lucas Browne at The O2 last month.

Whyte could set his sights on a title holder, a final eliminator, or a fellow contender as he considers his options when talking to Sky Sports...

Anthony Joshua

Anthony Joshua holds IBF, WBA and WBO titles after win over Joseph Parker

Joshua is always No 1 on my list, simply because, we don't like each other. There is a lot of needle, but we have a lot of respect for each other also, and we just do something to each other that makes each other want to fight.

We have fought twice and both fights have been battles at two different levels, and two different stages of our careers. The third time is going to be another battle.

2:43 Joshua sealed a points win over Parker at the Principality Stadium Joshua sealed a points win over Parker at the Principality Stadium

I would like to fight AJ another two, three times over my career. I think it's one of those fights where we always work hard, we'll always be motivated, we'll always want to beat each other up. We just have that chemistry.

Deontay Wilder

Deontay Wilder has distanced himself for a fight against Whyte

Chicken legs is No 2. I've been chasing him for a while now. He calls me a peasant, but I can afford to pay more money [for him] to come over here, then him the champion can pay me to go to America. Who is the peasant, me or him?

5:15 Whyte sent a passionate message to Wilder after his win over Browne Whyte sent a passionate message to Wilder after his win over Browne

He knows that I'm hot on his heels and I want to fight him. I've done everything I could [to get the fight]. I've had all the right fights, and I own three belts from the WBC. I'm basically WBC interim world champion. I would go to America. If Eddie [Hearn] came to me and said we've struck a deal, a good deal, here's the fight, go to America. I would go to America to fight him.

If Wilder doesn't fight Joshua, he has to fight me next. Hopefully the WBC will stand by me and back me, because I've been loyal to them, and enforce that rule. I'll have to go and find him and show up and say: 'I'm here, let's go.'

Kubrat Pulev

It's a very good fight, but they are talking about possibly going to Bulgaria to fight. What for? The profile, the money, the revenue, everything is in England, so why would go and fight him in Bulgaria? But it's a fight that I definitely want. It would secure me a place as mandatory challenger for the IBF. I believe I can beat Pulev all day long. At The O2, it's a big fight.

He's had some big fights, a top amateur, and at one stage he was meant to be a world beater. But for some reason something went wrong and he hasn't really fulfilled his potential as a professional. I believe I have the beating of him. He is open to left hooks as we have seen in most of his fights, and in his first loss to Wladimir Klitschko he got dominated by the left hook and that's one of my punches. I'm very confident of taking that fight and knocking him out.

Dominic Breazeale

Dominic Breazeale sits just behind Whyte in the WBC rankings

I think I've done enough, but if Wilder is going to carry on being a coward, then I'll fight on. It's an explosive fight, but I've got myself in a good position now. I want to fight for the world title. But if it doesn't happen and Breazeale wants it, and it makes sense, then we'll have it. You know me, I never shy away from a fight, and I'll fight anyone.

Breazeale demonstrated his threat with a stunning knockout of Izuagbe Ugonoh Breazeale demonstrated his threat with a stunning knockout of Izuagbe Ugonoh

I think Dominic Breazeale is a more dangerous fight than Deontay Wilder, to be honest. He's a tough guy, he can take a dig, and he comes forward to fight. He's actually got better boxing skills than what Deontay Wilder does. Deontay Wilder just has a bit more power than him. It's a fight that is very attractive stylistically for me. Dominic Breazeale would have to come to The O2. He's better off fighting here, it would be much bigger.

Alexander Povetkin

1:00 Alexander Povetkin produced a chilling knockout win over David Price Alexander Povetkin produced a chilling knockout win over David Price

David Price could have stopped him and should have stopped him. But you know David Price, one of his main problems is confidence, and that's what let him down I believe. It was a devastating knockout, he landed the right punches, but I think he was pretty basic and open. He looked old and he was tired and gassing. I didn't think he looked that good, but got the knockout.

We want Povetkin obviously. That's who we want. I feel after that fight with David Price as British fighters, we need to redeem ourselves. David Price showed a lot of holes in his game and I believe that I can knock him out.

0:38 Whyte issued a challenge to Povetkin in Cardiff Whyte issued a challenge to Povetkin in Cardiff

He's a good fighter, a former Olympic gold medallist, a former world champion. He's only lost to Wladimir Klitschko, so that's a very, very attractive fight. A very, very good fight. That fight will get the public's juices flowing and get everyone going crazy.

Tony Bellew-David Haye winner

If Haye gets past Bellew, he can come and see me. I don't like either of them, but I have more respect for Tony Bellew than I do David Haye. Tony Bellew is a funny one, I've gained a lot of respect for him lately. Not because we are on the same promotional team, or anything like that.

0:50 David Haye gives his opinion on Whyte's knockout win David Haye gives his opinion on Whyte's knockout win

I just dislike David Haye's attitude, his behaviour, and his approach to people. He always talks down to people, and always tries to steal the limelight. Any question you ask him, he tries to make it about himself. David Haye is just a punk. Not a lot of people in boxing like David Haye, because he's an ignorant, arrogant guy.

But what about Dereck Chisora?

0:31 Dereck Chisora demolished his opponent Zakaria Azzouzi on Whyte's undercard Dereck Chisora demolished his opponent Zakaria Azzouzi on Whyte's undercard

The donkey is loyal to the carrot. I chucked him a carrot on the undercard and he was loyal to me.

If Eddie gives me a big enough carrot to give the donkey, then we'll see.
