Wladimir Klitschko said Britain's Tyson Fury is set to be his next challenger after retaining his world heavyweight titles for the 18th time in a row.
The 39-year-old Ukrainian, who holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts, secured a unanimous points victory over American Bryant Jennings at New York's Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
British champion Fury, 26, is the mandatory challenger for the WBO crown.
"I think this fight needs to happen in Europe," said Klitschko, 39.
"Fighting Fury in Germany or in Great Britain, that's something we have to figure out."
Klitschko, competing in a record-equalling 27th heavyweight title fight, was awarded victory over Jennings 116-111, 116-11 and 118-109.
"Jennings would have beaten a lot of heavyweights," said the champion, who has won 64 of his 67 fights. "He's a tough competitor."
Klitschko relied on his heavy jab to pile up points against his previously unbeaten 30-year-old opponent.
