British heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte has included Joseph Parker in a list of contenders in his sights as he plots a rematch with Anthony Joshua.
Whyte lost to Joshua in seven rounds in a British title fight last December, but he wants another shot, where he intends to "whup his a***".
Parker beat Carlos Takam in their IBF eliminator bout in Auckland on Saturday, meaning the 24-year-old Kiwi heavyweight is the mandatory challenger to Joshua's world title that he won by beating Charles Martin in April with a second round knockout.
Whyte, nicknamed "The Bodysnatcher", will fight on Joshua's undercard during his maiden world heavyweight title defence against Dominic Breazeale on June 25 (June 26 NZ time), while Parker's next fight will be on July 21 against Solomon Haumono in Christchurch.
And the 28-year-old contender has big plans as he makes a comeback from the shoulder injury he suffered in the bout with Joshua, with Parker among those he's keen to fight.
"I want an eight-rounder warm-up, 10-rounder for an international title, a 12-rounder for the British title and then maybe one defence of the British title this year," Whyte told Sky Sports.
"Then a big fight at the end of the year with someone like Joseph Parker, Dereck Chisora, David Price or even David Haye.
"I want to be in the big fights. One of those kind of opponents at the end of year, close the year off, take some time off with my family and my missus. Next year, back on it and I want to whup Joshua's a*** next year.
"I want to win the British title and I'd love to win the Commonwealth and the European title. That's the traditional route but I'll take whatever route I need to take."
Whyte has now switched trainers too, leaving Wladimir Klitschko's handler Johnathon Banks to join up with London-based Mark Tibbs, according to Sky Sports.
"That loss (to Joshua) has put me in a position where I've stripped everything back, got rid of some people around me," Whyte added.
"Now I'm working with one of the top sports facilities in Europe at Loughborough University. Everything is coming together.
"I'm also with a new boxing coach in Mark Tibbs. I'm working with him over in West Ham and up in Loughborough.
"I'm not going away to Austria for six weeks at a time now - I'm working with someone on a daily basis. I'm investing much more in my boxing now.
"It wasn't very practical before. Johnathon lives in America and when I was training I was always training around Wladimir Klitschko.
"I need my own commitment. This is the Dillian Whyte show. I need people to be 100 percent committed to that or I need to look elsewhere because I'm the one who would have regrets at the end of the day."
