Stephen Webb is hoping to take the first step on the road to redemption when he enters the ring on Februry 1.
The St James' lightweight will feature on the 'Celtic Clash 10' bill at the Devenish Complex.
It will see Webb return to the scene of last year's crushing defeat to Joe Fitzpatrick when he was stopped inside two rounds.
'The Spider' is determined to make amends and goes straight into another domestic grudge match, taking on Dubliner Francy Luzoho over six rounds.
Webb - who was initially due to return versus Dubliner Martin Quinn last October before injury intervened - believes he owes fans a big performance and win.
“A routine fight was something I thought about for this one, but I owe everyone a big performance and there is no better way than doing it with an all-Irish win," he said.
"I remember being melted after the [Fitzpatrick] fight and in the changing rooms and I asked Leonard and Dennis [Gunning and Morrison, management team] for another Irish opponent next.
"I just know in that last fight I didn’t do myself any favours and I want to prove to everyone exactly what I can do.
"This really is the best way to do it and against the perfect opponent."
Luzoho was controversially beaten by Quinn last year and holds an identical record to Webb - one win and win loss.
But the Belfast boxer is not taking his Coolock opponent for granted.
“I genuinely see him as undefeated, he should have got the win against Quinn in my eyes and a lot of others, but I’ll hand him a proper defeat come February 1," Webb added.
"I don’t know much about Francy I didn’t see his debut but I did watch his fight against Quinn a few times as I was doing my homework on Quinn and really do think he was hard done by.
"But I’m planning out going into this fight and just enjoying the whole fight and boxing the best I can, no doubt an easy win though”
Webb is hoping to bounce back from adversity both in and out of the ring.
The 24-year-old was commended a few months back for opening up on his battles with gambling addiction.
"For the last few years I’ve had a major gambling problem and anyone that really knew me would be able to tell you the positions I’ve put myself in because of it," he added.
"From losing people who meant a lot to me, losing really good friends, people wiping their hands of me.
"And it even followed me into my professional boxing career having friends, coaches, and managers falling out with me over it all I’ve made a lot of big mistakes in my life and over the last few weeks I’ve been trying my best to put things straight and anyone that’s had problems with gambling will tell you it’s hard to admit you’ve a problem but I finally admitted that I have!
"It’s a horrible disease that’s ruined a lot of things in my life."
He added: "I’m trying to change myself as a person more everyday and hope, one day, people can see me for the real person I am. 2020 is my year, starting with a win and building bridges again.”
'Celtic Clash 10' will be headlined by Irish featherweight champion Eric Donovan, and alongside Webb v Luzoho it also features Antrim cruiserweight Conor Cooke, Larne super-feather Kelvin McDonald and North Belfast light-middle Owen O'Neill.
