David Haye has vowed to shut Shannon Briggs up after blowing away Arnold Gjergjaj inside two rounds on Saturday.
Haye confirmed he will face Briggs next in September and says he will silence the American, whose catchphrase is 'Let's go champ."
Briggs, also on the same day, beat Emilio Ezequiel Zarate in just one round and Haye said: "I'm looking forward to seeing some big fights next year.
"More immediately I've got Shannon Briggs. How did he look? The next fight for me is Shannon Briggs.
"I'll flatten him in September, so let's go chump! Let's go chump!
"He talks a lot, but tonight proves I punch way too hard for him. 2016, this is my year."
Haye admitted he was surprised Gjergjaj got up from his first knockdown inside 40 seconds.
"I was very surprised he got up from the first shot and that would have knocked most people out," he said.
"Anthony Joshua, whoever it is, if I hit them with one of those shots, my haymakers, they get knocked out.
"My timing felt great. Once I knocked him down with that big shot, I just wanted to finish it. My shoulder feels great too. I couldn't be better.
"I also want to give a bit shout out to all the people who have supported me, my family and friends. They never stopped believing in my and they have helped me get back to where I am today."
