Lucas Matthysse scored a second-round knockout win against Roberto Ortiz in their World Boxing Council Silver light welterweight title fight on Saturday at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
And now that he has won in his last two fights, Matthysse is looking for another big fight in the near future, saying that he wants a rematch with Danny Garcia or a fight against Adrien Broner.
Matthysse, who holds 36-3 record with 34 wins by knockout, said in an interview that he is aching to have another shot against Garcia, who defeated him in their WBC and WBA light welterweight title showdown in September last year.
"Being for a title or no title at stake, I want to fight Danny Garcia," Matthysse said via BoxingScene. "I dare Danny Garcia to not be a chicken. Stop fighting smaller fighters."
And if Garcia decides not to give him another shot, the 31-year-old light welterweight contender said that he is willing to face Broner.
"If Garcia doesn't come then I'll have Adrien Broner. I'll have anybody," Matthysse said.
Broner also won his second straight match with a close unanimous decision win against Emmanuel Taylor on Saturday to take the WBC international light welterweight title.
Broner had some shaky moments in the fight, but he did enough to score a win, especially after an impressive performance in the final round where he pushed hard to knock out Taylor.
The 25-year-old has yet to talk about his possible opponents for his next fight, but Broner assured that it will be against a top quality fighter, while also adding that big things will come after his win on Saturday night.
"Any moment for me is a historic moment. I already got a Hall of Fame career," Broner said via BoxingScene. "Now it's only going to get bigger from here."
Broner holds a 29-1 record with 22 knockouts with his only defeat coming against Marcos Maidana in their WBA welterweight title showdown in December last year.
