Tony Bellew suggests knocking out David Haye will see him crowned as the "Prince of heavyweights" with Anthony Joshua already the king of the division.
Bellew is moving up to heavyweight to take on his bitter British rival Haye on March 4, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
The pair were both ringside at the Manchester Arena on Saturday to see IBF world champion Joshua beat Eric Molina to set up a huge fight of his own, against Wladimir Klitschko, at Wembley Stadium in April.
Bellew was impressed with AJ's three-round demolition and believes he will join him as one of the divisions's elite fighters when he takes on Haye.
"Joshua is the king of the heavyweight division and he owns boxing at the minute, but what I will say is when I knock out the bloke on March 4, what happens there?" he told Sky Sports.
I don't know where it will put me, but when I knock him out, we all know where it will put him... flat on his back and finished.
"If I knock the B**** of Bermondsey out then - which I will - where does that put me?
"Will it make me the prince of the heavyweights? Does it make me the king of the cruiserweights trying to step up to be the king of the heavyweights?
"I don't know where it will put me, but when I knock him out, we all know where it will put him... flat on his back and finished."
Bellew was covering the Manchester event for radio, with Haye part of the Sky Sports Box Office team that saw Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora produce a heavyweight classic, with the former winning by split decision.
'Bomber' is friends with Chisora and believes "it will be a crime" if there isn't a rematch, but had nothing but praise for Joshua on Saturday night.
"Joshua is a modern-day, calm, Mike Tyson. He is calm, he is clinical and he is correct," he said.
"He understood what Molina was coming to do, which was to land one big, counter right or one left hook counter and was just waiting for AJ to just jump on him.
"But to be fair, he was so correct and clinical the way he did do it, didn't allow him to do that. Joshua was just brilliant."
You can watch Haye v Bellew, from The O2, London, live on Sky Sports Box Office on March 4.
