Daniel Dubois would "love a rematch" with either Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk – depending on which fighter "pays me the most".
Dubois retained his IBF world heavyweight title with a demolition of British rival Joshua at Wembley on Saturday night, flooring the two-time former world champion four times.
Joshua released a video on social media on Monday insisting his own journey in boxing is not over yet, with a potential rematch against Dubois as well as another all-British clash with Tyson Fury possible options in the future.
Dubois' promoter Frank Warren maintains while there is no specific clause in his fighter’s contract for a swift rematch with Joshua, they could go toe to toe again if the right deal was agreed.
Usyk is set to face Fury in their own rematch on 21 December for the WBA, WBO and WBC belts.
Dubois was beaten by Usyk in August 2023, but not before the Ukrainian was sent to the canvas by Dubois in the fifth round – only for the punch to be ruled a low blow and the champion given extra time to recover.
The 27-year-old Londoner feels whichever fighter he next gets into the ring with, the purse will have to be right for him financially.
"I would love a rematch, but either one really – whoever pays me the most," Dubois said on talkSPORT.
Speaking about the possibility of facing Joshua again, Dubois said: "Yeah, if that happens down the line then yes. If that happens next then yeah. I want to go for it.
"I want to do it even better next time. I know where I need to improve as well, so as a champion and as a fighter I just want to prove people wrong every time and that is what we have been doing.
"I think I would be a lot better than that (last fight). It was a great show, a Rocky-type fight, but next time I believe I will be more clinical, more sharp, everything better."
Meanwhile promoters hiring Wembley will continue to have the last word on accreditation disputes after a Telegraph journalist was barred from the fight at the weekend.
The Telegraph's chief sports writer, Oliver Brown, says he was refused access to Saturday’s heavyweight world title bout after writing an opinion piece on Friday which was critical of Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the sport.
The Football Association, which owns Wembley, is understood to be disappointed at the treatment Brown received. Reporters have been urged to contact the governing body should similar disputes arise in the future and it will endeavour to resolve them.
However, promoters will still continue to have the final say on the matter under the venue hire agreements they sign with the FA.
Brown had described the occasion as a "brazen assertion of the Saudis’ sporting supremacy in the heart of London" and said the British capital had been transformed into a "Saudi Disneyland".
He said he was contacted after the article was published by a public relations executive who asked if they should assume from his "opinions" that he no longer wished to attend the fight.
Brown replied to say he was still perfectly happy to attend and to discuss the article with the PR executive, but his offer of a conversation was not taken up.
He did not become aware of any issues with his accreditation until he arrived at the stadium to collect his wristband. Individuals present told him he was being denied entry and that there was nothing they could do about it.
Queensberry Promotions, which administered the accreditation for the fight, has not commented on the matter but sources close to the organisation insist it had nothing to do with the decision to deny Brown entry to the fight, and that it would never bar a journalist based on any opinion expressed.
The Sports PR Company, which reposted multiple social media posts about the fight over the weekend, has been contacted for comment.
The event was oversubscribed, with 326 accreditation requests and only 186 spaces. All national news titles were represented.
