Carl Frampton could bid to become Ireland's first three-weight world champion in Belfast next year.
The Jackal - who returns to the ring this weekend in Las Vegas - is being lined up to fight WBO world super-featherweight champion Jamel Herring in 2020.
Legendary promoter Bob Arum is keen on a potential showdown between the pair - and he wants it to happen in Northern Ireland.
First, Frampton has to see off relatively unknown American Tyler McCreary in Sin City this Saturday night.
Win that and it should tee up another world title shot for the 32-year-old.
"It makes sense," said Frampton of a potential fight against Herring.
"It looks like it is going to happen. There are no contracts signed or anything, but Bob Arum has mentioned it to me and Jamel Herring is making the right noises about it.
"The fight against McCreary is at 128 because it gives me the chance to go up or down [in weight].
"If a title appears at featherweight I'm happy to step in, but I would like the chance to become Ireland's first three-weight world champion and fight Jamel Herring."
Speaking on Sportsound Extra Time from the US, Frampton admitted the chance to become a three-weight world champion in Belfast would be "unreal".
The Tigers Bay fighter also said returning to fight at Windsor Park - where be beat Luke Jackson in August 2018 - would be another dream date.
He added: "It came out of the blue, Bob Arum just said he would like to do it in Belfast.
"It was great to hear. There was talk of fighting in New York on St Patrick's Day which would have been ideal as well, but to get the chance to become a three-weight world champion in your own backyard is unreal.
"When you think about it, it makes sense. If we did it in the spring we could sell Windsor Park out."
