Kell Brook has set his sights on a welterweight unification bout against the winner of Saturday night's long-anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
After years of wrangling, the sport's two biggest names will finally get in the ring in Las Vegas where Mayweather's WBA and WBC straps will be on the line alongside Pacquiao's WBO belt.
Brook holds the IBF version of the welterweight title and, provided he successfully defends that against domestic rival Frankie Gavin later this month, the Sheffield fighter would relish a shot at unifying the division.
"I'm going to take care of Frankie Gavin on May 30," he told Sky Sports News. "We've got pencilled in a fight in August but if the fight comes for September, I'd absolutely grab it with both hands - a unification fight with the winner.
"They're getting on, Pacquiao and Mayweather, so I'd love to lock horns with them before their time is out.
"I'm open to a unification."
A win for Mayweather at the MGM Grand would take his record to 48-0 and the 38-year-old has stressed that he has no interest in fighting on beyond his current deal which would mean one more fight.
Brook has also yet to lose with his record at 34-0 and the 28-year-old would not be intimidated taking on a man who will go down as one of boxing's greats.
"I'm unbeaten, I'm a young lion, I train every day hard, I'm a world champion and if that came to me I'd be training to beat him," he said.
"He's a man like me with two arms and two legs. I've got the will to believe.
"The ability is the secret and you believe that it's your time and your destiny. You've got to go out there and get it."
