He wants to fight WBO champion Brian Castano, though the Argentinian is chasing a unification fight with IBF, WBA, WBC and The Ring champion Jermell Charlo, a star American boxer.<\/p>\n

"It is around that figure; it is just what we have to do to make it happen," Rose told The Sun-Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n "The way I see it, the world title has to be out here in Australia. That's the situation we're in and that's what we need to come up with to make it happen.<\/p>\n "We want the world title and we want it in Australia.<\/p>\n "Whether it's Charlo or Castano, they are the targets.<\/p>\n "Timmy has to fight for a world title here in Australia, especially given the times we're in [with COVID-19].
