Michael Conlan is set to return to action on Dec. 5, and would be open to facing former WBO super-bantamweight champion Isaac Domboe — or anyone else, for that matter.
Conlan halted Sofiane Takoucht in the last of their 10 scheduled rounds in London on Aug. 15, and is likely to get one more bout under his belt before 2020 is over.
Domboe has been linked to a bout with the Irishman in the past, but confusion has always prevailed on the matter — something Conlan touched upon when discussing the situation with Irish News.
He said: “As soon as I heard he was talking about fighting me, I said to Jamie (Conlan, his manager): ‘Make that fight'.
"Now Dogboe is saying he won't go back to 122lbs but he's the one who's been calling me out, so I don't understand it — maybe he just wants to keep his name in the mix?
“I'll face him if he does come down to 122, if not I would fight Ionut Baluta, the guy that beat David Oliver Joyce. I think he's being spoken about and that's another fight I would happily take.
"I think I would do a good job on him and look good doing so, he's a good fighter — you don't beat guys like David Oliver if you're not.
“He'd be a dangerman for anybody. So I'd be happy to face him, or Dogboe or whoever.
“At the moment, I don't know what the plan is or who the plan is for, I just know I have to be ready for December 5th. I told Jamie: ‘I don't care who you put in front of me, I don't care who you get, I'll fight anybody. That's how I feel. I think he's happy with that approach and go ahead and get working on things.”
Conlan has remained in training since shortly after the win over Takoucht, which has boosted his eagerness to get back to action.
“I went to Portugal for three weeks and I trained every single day,” said the WBO Intercontinental featherweight champion.
“For me to be a 122-fighter, I need to be living at 122 or thereabouts and that's what I've been trying to do, I've been trying to keep myself low, keep myself in that direction. I'm much lighter than what I used to walk around at.
“It's a night-and-day difference and I feel healthier and fitter and I feel that I'm already in shape and I don't need to get into shape which is always a good thing — it's half the battle and the hard work has already been done.”
