Chris Eubank Jr is targeting a fight with superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in May and also expects to face fellow Briton Conor Benn "within the next 12 months".
The 34-year-old takes on Poland's Kamil Szeremeta on 12 October in Saudi Arabia.
Eubank Jr has been out of the ring since September, when he avenged a stoppage defeat by Liam Smith.
"I want to get back into the swing of things and make these mega fights over the next 12 months," Eubank Jr told the BBC Radio 5 Live Boxing podcast.
Eubank Jr is yet to win a recognised world title but remains one of the biggest draws in British boxing.
He was in the running to face unified super-middleweight champion Alvarez next month but a purse could not be negotiated.
"There were discussions but we couldn't come to terms on the business side of things. I've been out of the ring for 12 months - I wasn't looking to fight Canelo for a payday," Eubank Jr said.
"I want to beat this guy. Get me some nice solid fights over the next six months and then I'll take [Alvarez] out in May."
