JOSEPH PARKER has his sights set on the American Dream and would welcome Deontay wilder back to the ring.
Parker is close to Tyson Fury and has been a Stateside star for the past four years.
Joseph Parker and Derek Chisora
The New Zealander was present at Fury's two knockout victories over Wilder, with the latest coming in October.
Alabama's former WBC champion is 36. Parker is still waiting to confirm if he will fight again. Fury is ready to follow Parker to America.
Sky Sports spoke to David Higgings, his manager. He said that Joseph Parker indicated that he would like to follow the lead of Tyson Fury and travel to America to beat the Americans.
"Not many British have done this. Joseph said that he would fight any high-ranking American, from Andy Ruiz and Deontay Wilder to Luis Ortiz and Michael Hunter. We'd look at any of them.
"It will be interesting for us to see if any of these major American names are open to getting in a ring alongside Joseph Parker, because we have reached out and made it clear that the opportunity exists.
"My job is to create a model of the American opportunities, but I'm currently trying to make a model of the Joe Joyce opportunity. So it seems like we have a few options."

Joyce, 36, has now called him out as the WBO mandatory challenger, and No1 ranked competitor.
Higgins stated that Chisora was defeated and dominated by Higgins, so his brand equity in the UK and around the world is at an all time high.
"We almost feel it is a home crowd, and he's clearly been on a lot more big pay-per view shows in the UK.
Joseph indicated that he would like to fight as soon and as possible. Joe Joyce is a possible opponent.
"Joe Joyce is clearly ranked No1 with the WBO, while Parker is ranked No2.
"We wouldn't take him for granted. It was almost a 50/50 fight that the fans would love.
"The Joyce team reached out to us, and they said that they would make a written offer.
"Both parties have discussed May timing. We'll see what that offer looks.
