Carl Frampton has confirmed he will fight in Belfast this summer.
The local boxer broke the news on twitter this morning saying the bout will take place on July 29th.
We don't know who his opponent will be just yet, but 'the Jackal' says he'll release more information over the next week.
Tickets will also go on sale for what's sure to be a sell out event.
The two weight world champion hasn't been in the ring since he lost his WBA featherweight title bout with Leo Santa Cruz in January.
It had been rumoured there could be a rematch with Santa Cruz, although it looks more likely another opponent will be on the card.
A venue has also to be confirmed with the SSE Arena or Windsor Park among the top contenders.
Frampton, a football fan, has said on several occasions he would want a sell out crowd for a bout at the National Stadium.
However, with weather and television rights to consider, the SSE Arena may be a more appropriate venue, as it's held similar events in the past.
July 29th - keep it free. I can't wait to box @ home! Presser will be in the next week & tix will go on sale straight after #Homecoming 👊
