George Groves has revealed that he would like to challenge former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch next year as he does not feel he is yet ready to make the step up in class.
The 23-year-old will defend his British title at Wembley on March 16 when he facs Kenny Anderson for the second time, having stopped the Scot in their 2010 bout.
Groves has since gone on to defeat bitter rival James DeGale, which he followed with a destructive knock out of Paul Smith.
"One of the biggest fights in a year's time would be me and Carl with a world title on the line," Groves told the BBC. "The styles gel and we're both always in exciting fights. That would be a great British match.
"The better the opponent, the more you're going to have to adapt on the night. I can box long, I can box on the back foot, I can move, I can stand and trade - it will be a combination of everything.
Anderson is the only man that has come close to beating the talented super-middleweight when he knocked down Groves
"Sometimes I make mistakes and have to slug it out, like I did with Kenny Anderson, sometimes I let my hands do the talking, like when I knocked out Paul Smith.
"This year is about ticking off a few more fellas who are in the top 10 and then challenging for a world title as soon as I'm ready.
"I've got to the point where people want to fight me because I've got a good world ranking, top 15 in all the governing bodies, ranked number seven by Ring magazine.
"If I make the progression I have been making in the last year or so, I should be on track to fight anyone in the world in the next 12-18 months. That's the goal I've set myself."
