Gennady Golovkin has said he would welcome a fight with Billy Joe Saunders after defeating Kell Brook on Saturday night.
Golovkin (36-0 KO33), the reigning WBA 'Super' middleweight champion, retained his IBF and WBC titles with a fifth-round technical knockout victory over Brook in front of a sold-out O2 Arena.
Saunders, who is also unbeaten as a professional, holds the WBO title and the Briton has said he is ready to face Golovkin in a world-title unification fight, insisting he will pick out the Kazakh's "faults and flaws".
Golovkin said in the aftermath of his win over Brook that he wanted to unify the middleweight division and was targeting a clash with Saunders, and he now appears ready to answer the challenge.
The 34-year-old said: "I want a fight with him and I am open for everybody I think now he's ready.
"It's the business, you know he talks too much. It's a very good fight for TV and the fans. Why not?"
Boxing fans would also like to see Golovkin face Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, but he says the Mexican is refusing to get in the ring with him.
"Of course I want a fight with him," he said. "[There is] talk every time, everybody asks me when will I fight Canelo. It's not my fault, it's his fault. I'm ready. I said 'come on'.
"Absolutely [he's preventing the fight from happening]. Of course I want him."
