A frustrated Kris Terzievski has made his case for a date with Justis Huni, adamant he has superior power and skill to pull the "red carpet" from under the world title hopeful's fast feet.
Huni has lined up fights with New Zealand's Kiki Leutele on November 4 and Latvia's three-time world champion Mairis Briedis in March.
A world ranking beckons beyond that, but there is a domino missing as the heavyweight's promoters seek another fight in between those two later this year.
Terzievski, the only other man to beat Paul Gallen besides Huni, has his hand up but it's understood there are concerns over the Melbourne talent's ability to sell a fight.
The 32-year-old hasn't fought since his unanimous points win over Gallen in May, the former NRL star slamming Terzievski in the build-up for his poor promotional efforts.
"If you're in a fight with Paul Gallen ... he does all the talking for the both of us," Terzievski told AAP.
"Maybe it's put me in a different light ... I'm thinking to myself, how can these blokes think I can't sell when they're (Leutele's camp) mumbling amongst each other.
"Maybe they (Huni's camp) think they need a warm up or whatever. He has to get through that, but this is the fight that the Australian public can get around.
"This has to be the fight to make; the only two blokes that have beaten him (Gallen), the two best heavyweights in the country.
"Guys with size to knock each other out, but with the speed and skill level of middleweight. To me, I think that fight sells."
Leutele's trainer has labelled the undefeated Huni (6-0) the most boring man in Australian boxing, given his perceived lack of power.
Terzievski went one better and said he also had the former amateur world championship bronze medallist covered for speed and skill.
"I'm the only bloke in this country that can beat him," he said.
"Justis doesn't sound like much of a thinker. I have the IQ, the skill set. He's going to have things he's never seen before."
Terzievski is 11-1-1 since turning professional in 2016.
"I have a chip on my shoulder, coming up in small-time shows, you get nothing," he said.
"Huni's had the red carpet rolled out the whole time, even as an amateur and I want to upset the party.
"The way they've built him up as the golden boy of boxing, if you take that head a million doors open.
"They might be looking past me, but that'll be their biggest mistake."
