Audley Harrison has sounded out Tyson Fury or Dereck Chisora as his next opponent, and has vowed to retire if he loses.

Harrison shunned retirement after his lacklustre defeat to David Haye in November, but wants to have one more shot at glory - for either Fury's English heavyweight belt or Chisora's British and Commonwealth titles.

Chisora looks set to line up a deal to fight Fury in an all-British clash after losing out on a world title shot when Wladimir Klitschko pulled the plug on their April 30 bout.

But if the fighters' camps fail to agree a deal, Harrison believes his is the "logical" choice to step in, and believes victory is within his reach.

"If Chisora and Fury don't fight, the only logical fight is me," Harrison wrote on his Twitter feed.

"Either one, it doesn't matter to me. I may not be the No. 1 but surely I can beat these two. Tell you what, the show can be called 'Victory or Retirement'."
