Local boy Sam Goodman will headline another pay-per-view in Wollongong on July 10, risking his place at the front of the queue for undisputed glory.
Taking on undefeated Thai fighter Chainoi Worawut, Goodman will headline a card stacked with plenty of big names in the Australian sporting landscape.
Goodman, 25, is the mandatory challenger to undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue's IBF and WBO world titles and even faced off with the Japanese star in the ring following his recent victory over Luis Nery.

Rather than sit around and wait for a potential clash with Inoue later in the year, Goodman is keeping busy with a fight in front of his adoring hometown fans.
Ranked eighth with the WBC at super bantamweight and with a record of 25-0-1 with 15 KOs to his name, "Rock Man" Worawut shapes as a potential banana skin for the Australian who's got his sights set on a crack at all four belts in the division.
Barry Hall returns to box Curtis Scott
Also in action, Aussie Rules great Barry Hall will return to the ring for a clash with sacked former NRL player Curtis Scott.
Hall, now 47, has two professional fights under his belt, a draw with Paul Gallen and first-round knockout defeat to Sonny Bill Williams, the latter of which came over two years ago.
The AFL premiership-winning captain and four-time All Australian was a promising boxer as an amateur and has been tempted back into the sport after Scott called him out following his debut win over Joey Leilua earlier this year.
A premiership winner with the Storm, Scott hasn't played in the NRL since 2021, having been exiled after he was convicted of assaulting and threatening his former partner.
Scott is 2-0 since making the switch to boxing earlier this year.
Liam Wilson to face Youssef Dib in lightweight debut
Also on the card at the Wollongong Entertainment Centre, two-time world title challenger Liam Wilson will make his lightweight debut, taking on Youssef Dib in a high-level domestic showdown.
Wilson has made the move to 135-pounds, having fallen just short when facing Emanuel Navarrete and Oscar Valdez with championship gold on the line.
The hard-hitting Queenslander has previously spoken of his wish to take on former unified lightweight champion George Kambosos - a win against Dib would continue to build his case for that fight.
