Carl Frampton's hopes of challenging for another world title in Belfast have been handed a boost.
Legendary promoter Bob Arum remains confident Frampton can challenge WBO super-featherweight champion Jamel Herring in Northern Ireland.
The pair were scheduled to fight on June 13 at Windsor Park but those plans were cancelled amid the ongoing coronavrus crisis.
It has been suggested recently that the world title showdown could now happen at the fabled Madison Square Garden in New York.
But a hometown fight for Frampton remains on the cards, according to Top Rank chief Arum.
“Carl was pushing, before all of this happened, for the fight to be outdoors,” said Arum.
“Frank Warren, who would be promoting the fight, always wanted the indoor arena in Belfast.
“Once this clears up and we can go back to doing live fights, I would think we can still go to Belfast.
“They’ve got a really lovely indoor arena that seats 10,000 and that would be perfect for a fight like this.”
Frampton is aiming to make history against Herring in becoming Ireland's first-ever three-weight world champion.
The 33-year-old - who has already won belts at super-bantamweight and featherweight - was last seen last November in outclassing Tyler McCreary in the US.
