Radivoje Kalajdzic impressed in his defeat against David Morrell a couple of weekends ago, and he is targeting another high-profile fight.
Kalajdzic lasted all 12 rounds, with many expecting that he would be defeated by stoppage.
Speaking to BoxingScene, he said: “Yeah, a lot of people had him stopping me within the first two or three rounds and to me, the fight wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.
“I thought he was this big puncher, that skillful boxer, but I feel like the fight was closer than they had it.
“And if his power wasn’t there. I could have done more stuff, thrown more punches, but other than that, I figured it out. I felt the fight was way closer than what the scorecards had.
“I just feel like all the other big names in the division now are seeing how I did against Morrell, supposedly this big boogeyman, and nobody wanted to fight.”
Looking ahead, he suggested that David Benavidez and Oleksandr Gvozkyk are worthy next opponents.
Kalajdzic continued: “So all these other big names that are looking for a step up or trying to see how they would do against me, I think I would be the perfect opponent.
"Gvozdyk, David Benavidez, all these other guys in the UK, I mean I’m down to fight anybody.”
