Liam Smith says he would be happy to fight Chris Eubank Jr in December after Conor Benn failed a drugs test.
The Liverpool born fighter celebrated his homecoming a little over a month ago at the M&S Bank Arena in King's Dock, where he proved too much for his former sparring partner and fellow super welterweight Hassan Mwakinyo.
In truth it was a bit of a mismatch but he managed to keep his place in the rankings as a result.
Janibek Alimkhanuly, Kell Brook and Jermell Charlo have all been touted as potential opponents.

But it appears 'Beefy' has his sights set on taking on Eubank Jr, who was supposed to fight Benn at London's O2 Arena on October 8.

Liam Smith wants to fight Chris Eubank Jr in December
Speaking on Sky Sports he said: "Of course yeah it doesn't even have to be that long because there's one sitting here.
"Obviously I made it vocal I was open to that fight before he decided to fight Conor.
"Now the Benn fight's off, there's probably only one fight in Britain left for him, and I'm ready and waiting.
"Yeah I signed under it because it was an easy fight to make and I'll stick by what I've said that's the easiest fight to make now going forwards.
"We're both under BOXXER and Sky Sports I think we're both willing to fight each other so I'm pretty sure the fight can be made."

But whether it's Brook or Eubank, Smith - who stands 5ft 9in tall - doesn't care who he will be fighting in December.
"I'll be ready this year, I'll be ready in December," he added. "I'm just going to do it as the normal process.
"You know, I fought September, my next fight I would be looking for December, and I'll be ready to fight Chris Eubank Jr in December.
"I think that fight's been offered to Kell also, I think that's probably also his thought process in making a comeback.
But I'm back in the gym, I'll be ready for December, and if it's Chris Eubank, it's Chris Eubank, if it's Kell Brook, it's Kell Brook. If it's anybody else I'll be fit and ready. You know me, I'll fight anyone."
