Eddie Hearn has revealed four names are currently being discussed to fight Dillian Whyte in November.
Brixton's Whyte fought for the WBC's heavyweight title against Tyson Fury at Wembley Stadium on April 23.
But Whyte's bid to become a world champion after being forced to wait for several years for his opportunity ended via a sixth-round knockout to the Gypsy King.
'The Body Snatcher' was unable to implement his game plan on the much bigger Fury, who frustrated him with his size and reach advantage.

What has Eddie Hearn said about Dillian Whyte?
Dillian Whyte has urged Tyson Fury to 'chill out'
Hearn told Boxing Social: "Similar to the kind of opponents that he was going to fight before Tyson Fury – [Otto] Wallin, Jermaine Franklin, even Dempsey McKean, he’s got a fight coming up in Australia, Chris Arreola, those kinds of levels.
“He’s got to come back in a real fight, he’s teamed up with Buddy McGirt now and we’ll be working to try and get Dillian’s fight up and running in the next few days.”
Whyte, 34, recently opened up about his decision to leave his former trainer Harold Knight ahead of his return to the ring.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "Buddy has been a two-time world champion, he fought a lot of good guys and has been in the corner of a lot of top guys as well.

"He's been around, had years and rounds of world title experience and I think that's why I need at this stage in my career, somebody who can make little tweaks and has a bit more experience in big fights."
Despite his loss to Fury, it seems Whyte is still in good spirits.
"Joe Joyce is a good fighter, a strong guy, he takes a lot of punches," he added.
"Some of these guys have great chins and then one night it comes and boom just like that (they get caught) and I believe I carry the power to knock out anyone on this planet. I've just got to land these punches, Joe Joyce is the same.
"I'm a warrior, a fighter, I'm not going to back-up, I'm going to go throw hands and my mindset is warrior mode all the time. I always come to fight and always give it my all."
