Anthony Joshua is already the best heavyweight on the planet and can dominate the division for many years, according to Barry Hearn.
Hearn, Matchroom's chairman and the father of Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn, believes the British heavyweight is capable of beating anyone in the world after retaining his unbeaten record by seeing off Dillian Whyte at the O2 on Saturday.
Eddie Hearn is mulling over Joshua's next opponent and his father is happy for him to keep his sights reasonably low for the time being, despite his admiration for the fighter.
Joshua could now bid to add the European title to his British and Commonwealth belts in April as he builds up to a world title challenge.
Britain's Tyson Fury holds the WBA and WBO crowns, while American Deontay Wilder is the WBC champion and Barry Hearn is confident Joshua would prevail if he faced either of them.
He told Sky Sports News HQ: "I think he beats all of them now today, any time you like, but commercially it's not the right time to do the fight.
