Deontay Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champion, is willing to fight Oleksandr Usyk next.
Wilder is widely regarded as the biggest one-punch hitter in the sport, with 42 of his 43 career victories ending inside the distance.
The only opponent Wilder has been unable to beat is Tyson Fury. They drew controversially in their first fight. Then Wilder lost the WBC title to Fury in their rematch before being stopped again in an epic third encounter.
Wilder came back from that last loss to Fury with a stunning first-round knockout win over Robert Helenius.
Fury had looked on course to box Usyk, the unified WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight champion, at the end of this month.
But it emerged on Wednesday that those talks had ultimately stalled and collapsed.
