The former Libertines frontman told the NME that his current group are in fact the best band in the world.
Doherty said: "With Oasis stepping up a gear and proving they've still got it, they need to be shown there are people out there who can surpass them.
"Can we match them? The quality is good, but there really is no competition because my band is the greatest in the world and we're going to prove it."
The singer-guitarist added that "record company politics" were delaying a new album from the band and said that he wanted to release a new LP as soon as possible.
Babyshambles were kicked off an Oasis support slot four years ago after a no-show from Doherty.
