Padraig McCrory says he can't wait to once again sample the bright lights and cauldron atmosphere of the SSE Arena on Saturday night.
'The Hammer' made his professional debut at the iconic venue five years ago and returned the following year to fight on Michael Conlan's undercard.
The unbeaten super-middleweight will grace another Conlan card on Saturday when he defends his WBC International Silver title against Marco Antonio Periban.

Victory will tee up a massive fight later this year, potentially for the European strap.
For McCrory, he is happy to experience the SSE Arena, and follow in the footsteps of some massive names he used to watch from the stands.
"It is a great venue. It is unreal," McCrory told Belfast Live.
"It is the biggest indoor venue in the north, and I am very excited about it. I watched Tyson Fury there, Carl Frampton, Ryan Burnett, Michael Conlan."
He added: "If I deal with Saturday night there is a purse bid for the European title on August 11. That makes the most sense, but if there are bigger fights there then I will take them.
"I am rolling the dice as I always do. I could have sat back and taken purse bids. But I want to challenge myself.
"I haven't fought in a while so I can't wait."
