"As far as a rematch is concerned, that is not a problem with me. [But] at the minute I've got to fulfill my dream, and that's being world champion.
"[The rematch] can only get bigger. I'm a fighting man, and I'll fight anybody."
Eubank Jr, who finished the fight stronger, said that he will stop Saunders next time they fight.
