Lee Selby insists he would relish a return trip to Belfast for a world title unification clash against Carl Frampton.
The Welshman defends his IBF world featherweight title against Jonathan Victor Barros on the undercard of Frampton's rematch with Leo Santa Cruz in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
Frampton has admitted he would welcome a summer showdown with Selby in his hometown of Belfast, if he successfully defends his WBA 'super' title with another win over Santa Cruz.
Just under four years ago, Selby defeated Martin Lindsay at the Odyssey Arena on the same bill as Frampton, and would happily head back to Northern Ireland for a fight against 'The Jackal'.
"That sounds good to me," he told Sky Sports.
Belfast is okay for me. I've boxed there before and it was one of the best experiences I've had.
"It would be nice to win and look very good doing it, because it will be a super fight, but I do think British boxing fans will demand it anyway - as long as I win.
"Belfast is okay for me. I've boxed there before and it was one of the best experiences I've had. I was boxing in a great venue and they are all boxing people.
"I remember walking in and everyone was booing me, swearing at me all the way to the ring, but when I boxed my way to the win, they gave me a standing ovation on my way back."
Watch Carl Frampton's rematch against Leo Santa Cruz and Lee Selby's IBF title defence against Jonathan Victor Barros in Las Vegas, live on Sky Sports 1, from 1am on Sunday January 29.
