Tokyo 2020 boxer Emmet Brennan has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Eddie Hearn and launched his own attempt to feature on the undercard of Katie Taylor's Madison Square Garden showdown with Amanda Serrano.
The April 30 showpiece has garnered plenty of attention and excitement from boxing fans in its build up, with the long-awaited bout between Taylor and Serrano the first ever female fight to headline an MSG show.
And now Irish amateur boxer Emmet Brennan wants in on the act, with the 30-year-old Dubliner making clear both his intention to turn professional and his desire to feature on the undercard of Taylor's historic fight.
Speaking to Off The Ball, the Olympic light-heavyweight underlined his desire to establish himself in the pro ranks.
He said: "I'm 99% sure I'm going to go pro; I'm suited to professional boxing.
"The Olympics was always the dream but I was never suited to amatuer boxing, it's a lot faster paced and the professional game is a little slower and more suited to my style."
And Brennan pointed to Taylor's bumper night in New York as the ideal launchpad for his own professional journey.
He explained: "There'd be no better debut than the Katie Taylor show, even looking from the outside it makes perfect sense.
"There's going to be a huge crowd of travelling Irish fans and as I said I have that good exciting professional style, it'd make sense to have me on the show."
Brennan was previously invited to train in a London gym belonging to Matchroom - the promotions company headed up by Eddie Hearn - but injury ruled him out of grasping the chance.
Unfazed, however, he has since reached out once again to the promoter.
"I got in contact myself with Matchroom via email so they've seen my stuff online, they do know about it so I'm waiting to hear back from them.
"I was supposed to go and train at a Matchroom gym in London just before Christmas but I was just coming back from a shoulder injury so it wasn't the right move to go over while I wasn't in the best condition.
"It's just trying to get the word out there and a little bit of social media presence behind it. As I said, from the outside to me it just makes perfect sense.
"There is a big Irish crowd going over, they're travelling across the Atlantic Ocean, they've asked for me to be on the show so it's up to him whether he listens or not.
"I'm not saying put me on the show because I'm an Olympian, I offer a lot more than that. Going forward, I'm actually looking to move to New York so that's where I'm going to base myself with a full Irish team behind me.
"Managers, trainers - it's all going to be Irish. The vision for me is to have the whole Irish-American community on the east coast of America behind me. It's not just 'I'm an Olympian, put me on your show', it's 'I can actually offer you something going forward after the show.'"
