Caoimhin Agyarko insists he is relishing another step up and chance to win his second professional title when he returns to the ring on July 9.
It has been confirmed that Agyarko will face tough Polish opponent Lukasz Maciec for the WBA International light-middleweight title on the undercard of Derek Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev at London's O2 Arena.
It will be the Belfast boxer's first outing at 154lbs after moving down from middleweight. And he can't wait to put on a "career-best' performance.

"It is another step up for me. He is a tough opponent with a good winning record," Agyarko told Belfast Live.
"He has only been beaten four times and has never been stopped. He gave Anthony Fowler a good fight, so it is another good test for me.
"I want these stiff tests and I feel this will be my biggest test to date at a new weight. And there is another title on the line.
"I only found out today the belt will be on the line, so that gives me more incentive to go out and put on a devastating performance.
"It is exciting for me at the new weight. I will be a real force to be reckoned with.
"This is my new weight now going forward and I am ready to shine. Camp has been going good and we have been working on different things.
"Everything has been going well and I just want to go out on July 9 and show people what I am capable of."
