Lee McAllister will fight for the vacant World Boxing Federation welterweight title on June 3 in what could be his final bout in Aberdeen.
The 34-year-old retired from boxing in 2013, but has won all three fights since returning to the ring last year.
McAllister claimed the WBF intercontinental title in February with a fifth round stoppage of Michael Kelly in Glasgow and will fight in front of a home crowd for a world title at the Beach Ballroom next month.
His opponent is yet to be confirmed but McAllister is excited by the prospect of his first fight in his hometown since defeating Slovakian Ivan Godor on points four years ago.
He said: “This could be the very last time I fight in Aberdeen. I have had a few people scout me for fights all over the world.
“Anything can happen so I can’t look too far ahead but the plan is I want to keep boxing for the next few years and have more big fights.
“I’m not looking to retire any time soon but I wasn’t looking to retire a few years ago. Circumstances change and when that happens you just have to take it on the chin and move on.
“But I am feeling great and can’t wait for this fight. I think I am actually a better boxer now than when I was younger. I am more controlled and relaxed and don’t let the occasion get to me. If I knew what I know now I would have been a totally different fighter from the start.
“I have so much experience and I will use that to my advantage.”
McAllister admitted he never thought he would ever box in his home city again when he hung up his gloves four years ago.
He said: “The moment has come for the Aberdeen Assassin to arise once again. It is going to be a massive night for Aberdeen to host a world title fight.
“I promised I would bring the big boxing nights back to Aberdeen.
“People probably doubted me but I feel I am proving them wrong.
“I have won three fights by stoppage since I came out of retirement and feel in really good shape. The title is vacant and I should find out in the next few days who I will be fighting, but I don’t care who it is.
“When I fight in Aberdeen I get such great support that it feels like I have an extra boxer beside me in the ring punching my opponent.”
Aberdeen lightweight Nathan Beattie and super flyweight Andrew Cuthbert as well as Nairn cruiserweight Sandy Robb, will all be on the undercard on June 3.
