Caoimhin Hynes believes another clinical win will have him knocking on the door for a big homecoming show next year. The Belfast boxer takes on Lukasz Maciec in London on Saturday night in his latest step up fight.
Agyarko returns to action on the undercard of Derek Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev at the O2 Arena. It is his first fight at light-middleweight.
The 25-year-old has been oozing confidence ahead of his ring return on the big Matchroom card. And he believes another win could pave the way for a Belfast title fight in 2023.

“It’s a big moment for me on Saturday. I feel like I’ve got the right opponent in front of me to showcase my skills and showcase how good I am," Agyarko said.
"I didn’t really think it would be as easy making the weight as it has been. I was 3lbs over this morning and 3lbs over after having lunch.
"I’m happy. I expect a tough fight on Saturday and look to make my mark in the 154lbs division. I’m thankful for the opportunities Eddie has given me.
"It’s going to be my second title fight in three fights. I’ll look to go and put a big performance in on Saturday night and then I’ll be knocking on Eddie’s door to make Belfast happen next year."
Agyarko is gunning for a "punch perfect performance" against experienced Polish opponent Maciec. It is also a chance to win an international title in his second weight division.
"I think a punch perfect performance, showing certain aspects of my style that I haven’t shown yet is the aim. I feel like this performance will come forward and allow me to box more and show the good footwork and fast hands," the Belfast boxer added.
"I’ll be able to show angles. I expect a tough ten rounds but I’m someone that finishes my dinner and if I have him hurt then I’ll close the show.”
