Joseph Parker has revealed his dream three-fight plan for 2018 which includes bouts in both the UK and Las Vegas.
Parker (24-0, 18 KOs), who hasn't fought since successfully defending his WBO world title against Hughie Fury in Sept. 2017, has desires to unify against Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder before moving on to face Tony Bellew.
"I'd like to fight Joshua in the UK as that's where the draw card is," Parker exclusively told ESPN. "I'd also like to fight Wilder in America in Vegas and then I'd like to fight Tony Bellew. Those are the fights I want to make happen in 2018."
Parker also revealed that he could have faced Bellew this year but due to not being in camp and training, he had to say no to potentially replacing David Haye when he became injured.
"I'd love to fight Tony Bellew," Parker said. "We had discussions to fight when David Haye pulled out of the fight but we weren't in a full camp so not able to jump in and fill his place.
"I feel like if I had a great camp and prepared for Tony Bellew I could put on a great fight and beat him. Hopefully we can make something happen.
"But again it comes down to both teams being happy. I know he's a massive draw card so we would have to sit down and negotiate how we're going to split things but I feel it's a great possibility to fight in 2018.
"He's a great fighter but he's a cruiserweight coming up to heavyweight. I have better skills and a little bit more power."
The New Zealand boxer also highlighted other fights that are on his radar, and while Joshua remains his "goal", he is not the only fighter on his mind.
"There's [Alexander] Povetkin, Lucas Browne, there's many other options," Parker added. "But the goal is to get the Joshua fight as it will be a good fight and we can put on a great show.
"Dillian Whyte is also a potential. He's showed some good performances in the ring and what he's done. But I feel like now I'm the champion I want to fight the other champions.
"My goal is to aim for those at the top. He can get to the top of the game as well but my goal is Joshua at the moment."
A potential fight with Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) could happen as early as March 2018, ESPN understands.
