Former two division world champion Carl Frampton is not confident that he will fight in his home city of Belfast in the near future.
Frampton was in line this month to fight WBO super featherweight champion Jamel Herring at Windsor Park in Belfast. The fight was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The two boxers are still eager to face each other, but their contest is not likely to take place until the end of the year or in early 2021.
For the moment, both boxers will go in separate directions to stay busy.
Herring will return to the ring next month when he makes a voluntary defense against Jonathan Oquendo of Puerto Rico.
Frampton's next fight has to be finalized.
"I still would like to fight at Windsor Park, whether or not that happens again now, who knows?" Frampton said to BBC Sport.
"I just want to win a world title - that's the main objective and whether it happens at Windsor or whether it happens in America it doesn't matter. But if I ever fight in Northern Ireland again, I want it to be at Windsor Park.
Frampton admits that he pondered the idea of retirement in December 2018, after losing to Josh Warrington.
He decided to continue forward, with a clear goal of once again becoming a world champion.
"I want to win I don't want to ever feel defeat again in my career," said Frampton.
"Boxing is a lonely sport and when you lose it's hard to take and it's hard to get over. I just don't want to ever feel that again but I'm prepared to put in everything I can to become a world champion again.
"I think my next fight will be a fight, a non-title fight, probably a 10 rounder. Then I'm pretty sure I will fight Jamel Herring to give me the chance to become a three-weigh world champion, that's what I want to do and possibly a defence. If I could unify my second weight division, that would be huge."
