Carl Frampton hardly broke a sweat as he dominated youngster Tyler McCreary in his comeback fight this morning.
The Belfast fighter hadn't fought in almost a year prior to stepping in with a younger, bigger and unbeaten opponent.
But he made light work of McCreary, dropping him with body shots in the 5th and 9th rounds, before picking up a unanimous decision victory.
There could now be a fight with Jemel Harring for the super-featherweight belt on the horizon for the Irishman in either Belfast or New York after the impressive performance.
Frampton, however, did reveal that he had re-fractured his hand in sparring, so may need some time off to recover before chasing an historic third world title.
Frampton had been scheduled to fight Emmanuel Dominguez in Philadelphia early last August, but was forced to withdraw he fractured his hand when an ornament fell on him in a hotel lobby.
He had been flirting with retirement, but is now on the brink of making history for Irish boxing.
