First, the Australian has to face mandatory IBF challenger, likely number-one ranked German Hüseyin Cinkara . However he told BoxingScene he was ready to unify as soon as possible. Then there is former two-weight undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk, who suggested he too might come back down to the division in the near future.
