Just a day after learning that he is the biological father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn, Larry Birkhead has appeared on a US TV show to speak out on the matter.

He has announced that he has no intention on sharing custody of his child, and insists he can look after the child sufficiently.

"[Sharing custody] would imply that I'm unfit as a parent, which I'm not," Birkhead said. "I'm looking forward to giving Dannielynn everything that she needs and all the love and support."

As Perez Hilton reports, Larry also discussed the potential upcoming legal battle between himself and Virgie Arthur (Smith's mother): "We might go from one fight to another, but I'm hoping that's not the case because, you know, there's only one dad, and I have no problem with anyone that has good intentions being allowed to visit the baby and see the baby and be a part of the baby's life."     

The custody battle is expected to be settled as soon as Friday. We'll bring you the news as soon as it's announced...
