Lee Selby says that he can be IBF featherweight champion for "a long time" after defeating Evgeny Gradovich.

New IBF featherweight world champion Lee Selby has revealed that he wants to unify the belts within the next two years.

Selby defeated Russia's Evgeny Gradovich on a technical decision to win his first world title in a dominant performance.

He told Sky Sports News: "I don't know about dominating or unifying [the whole division], because there are some great champions. We have got Nicholas Walters [the WBA super-featherweight world champion] and Vasyl Lomachenko and Gary Russell Jr – they are all great champions in their own right.

"But I think I can be the IBF champion for a long time and maybe a unification in a year or two.

"Lucky enough, I am blessed to have these great fighters in the featherweight division. It's one of the best divisions in boxing at the moment, so there are some great match-ups down the line."

Selby now has a record of 21-1.
