Michael Conlan is fighting for his career when he goes in with Jordan Gill on Saturday night, a fight that can be seen exclusively on DAZN.
That's the verdict of Eddie Hearn who returns to Belfast as a promoter with Conlan top of the bill looking to prove that he can still have a say in the world title picture.
Conlan came agonisingly close to winning a world title last year when he was dominant against Leigh Wood before being stopped in the fight’s final round in a thrilling encounter.
Conlan tried to win another belt earlier this year, but he was overwhelmed by Luis Alberto Lopez in five rounds. Hearn, who enjoys promoting Conlan, has issued a warning to the Irish star.
"If Michael Conlan loses, his career is over," Hearn when speaking to RTE. “But if he wins and wins well, what's ahead? Joe Cordina? Josh Warrington? There are massive fights ahead.
"Michael sells. He's expected to beat Jordan Gill and he’s coming off a knockout defeat, but we should have 7,000 in there on Saturday which is a big old crowd.
You know he sells, you know the atmosphere will be fantastic and we have a lot of guys at 130lbs that he can fight. If he was to make a statement he will walk straight into a massive fight.”
