Former Olympic champion Audley Harrison (27-5, 20 KOs) has set out an ambitious blueprint for the future as he contemplates his next move in boxing.

Harrison's career looked to be dead and buried when he was booed out of the arena following his abject performance against David Haye in the WBA heavyweight title clash last November.

In his first tilt at a world title, Harrison was stopped in the third round by his British rival, having landed just one punch in the contest.

But he surprisingly vowed to fight on, and is now targeting the winner of the British and Commonwealth title clash between Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury, which takes place this weekend, with the victor expected to face Wladimir Klitschko.

After that, Harrison wants to avenge the defeat he suffered against Martin Rogan, the Belfast taxi driver who irreparably damaged Harrison's reputation by beating him on points in 2008.

Finally, and this surely is stretching credibility to its limit, he wants to take on one of the fearsome Klitschko brothers, who between them hold all of the notable belts in the heavyweight division.

"Chisora-Fury winner, defend against [Martin] Rogan, Wlad or Vitali next," Harrison said on Twitter. "Maybe I'm suffering from delusion, but my next training camp will tell me if I still have it."
