DANIEL DUBOIS smashed his way to the title of heavyweight after defeating Trevor Bryan.
Dubois won the fourth round in Miami and was awarded the trinket WBA "Regular Belt" and the mandatory challenger position for WBA's real thing.
Dubois is 24 and if he can't get any other champions, there are many other huge fights.
Dillian Whyte was the top target, but he said that the other contender is only one option.
SunSport examines what the future holds for Dubois.
Dillian Whyte
Tyson Fury knocked out Whyte (34), but Whyte has been vocal about wanting to get back in the mix.
He is an independent agent, and not tied to any TV network or promoter as Dubois requested Frank Warren to make an offering.
He stated that he knew of two names: Joseph Parker and David Whyte. Frank will match me up next.

Joe Joyce
Dubois's only career loss came against Joyce in 2020, when the Londoner made Dubois kneel after he had beaten his eye.
Joyce, 36, now sits pretty as WBO mandatory for Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua's rematch.
He is still waiting, so if the money is right Joyce might be tempted to a rematch against Dubois.
Derek Chisora
Chisora is still a fan-favourite headliner, and she returns to a rematch against Kubrat Pulev July 9.
Eddie Hearn, promoter, named Dubois as a potential opponent if Chisora (37), can defeat Pulev (41).
SunSport spoke with Hearn: "All of a sudden, you start talking about (Chisora), in fights against Joe Joyce, Daniel Dubois. See what happens with AJ or Usyk."
Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk
Dubois will now be mandatory for the WBA title Usyk (35), won against Joshua (32) in September. He is scheduled to defend his title in their August 20 rematch.
This allows him to avoid losing his position and allow him to wait for the winner.
Dubois will not be able to rest with Tyson Fury (33), looming later in this year.
Lucas Browne
After defeat to Paul Gallen (40), in April 2021, the Aussie's career seemed to be over.
Browne, 43 years old, has rebounded with two wins, including a recent upsetKO over Junior Fa, 32.
The WBA champion is well-known in the UK. He revealed that he has received numerous calls asking him to fight again.
