Newly-crowned IBO super-welterweight champion Dennis Hogan has called for a huge homecoming fight against Conor McGregor for his first defence.
The legendary UFC fighter is 0-1 as a professional boxer after his loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2017, but has insisted that he would like to fight for a world title in the ring. And while Hogan's belt is not a recognised major belt, it could be McGregor's chance at claiming world honours in boxing within just one more fight.
Kildare native Hogan defeated Sam Eggington in Newcastle, Australia over the weekend, and has called for a return to Ireland where he would be bringing big-time professional boxing back in the south of the country. In a move that could make the bout even bigger, Hogan has called for his opponent to be McGregor, a former two-weight UFC champion.
