Otto Wallin wants to fight a former heavyweight champion or Tyson Fury next.

The Swedish heavyweight fought in the UK for the first time in February, when he beat Kamil Sokolowski in Cardiff, and is aiming to move onto a high-profile fight next.

Wallin pushed Fury hard in their first fight, and despite losing that clash he is hoping for another go at the WBC champion, who looks set to move on from a bout with Derek Chisora in December to take on Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed fight that many in the division want to see, if only so the belts are then ultimately vacated for new challengers.

The 31-year-old is also looking at potential fights against Joseph Parker or Anthony Joshua, both former heavyweight champions.

Parker most recently lost to Joe Joyce, while Joshua came up short in his rematch with Usyk, and has discussed a potential comeback as early as this December.

"Otto fought in the UK this year," Wallin's promoter Dmitriy Salita informed Sky Sports. "His goal is to get a rematch with Tyson Fury and to fight Anthony Joshua.

"Tyson is fighting obviously against (Derek) Chisora in December, but Joshua seems to be in flux."Otto wants to keep busy with significant fights.

"Joseph Parker is a good opponent for Otto to fight - and one that we will pursue with interest."
