Sean McComb eyes potential all-Irish fight after winning on return to the ring
Sean McComb is open to an all-Irish showdown with recently crowned EBU European super lightweight champion Pierce O'Leary.
The Belfast southpaw made a winning return to action as he fought for the first time in 14 months on Saturday night, beating Argentina's Alexis Nahuel Torres via decision.
McComb hadn't been seen in action since suffering the second defeat of his career very controversially against Arnold Barboza Jr in April of last year, but was very pleased with his performance against Torres in Hull, with referee Mark Lyson scoring the bout 60-54 in his favour.
In a one-sided contest, McComb outboxed his opponent from the off and hurt his eye in the fourth round as the now 13-12-1 fighter struggled with the 32-year-old's silky skills.
Much bigger challenges now lie ahead for 'The Public Nuisance', who revealed Dublin's O'Leary is one name he is interested in facing next.
"We all know I want a rematch with Barboza. We're not going to get it so we'll go the UK route," said McComb.
"We have all the top fighters in the UK. We've got Dalton Smith, Adam Azim, Pierce O'Leary... anyone else around the domestic scene wants it, European wants it, anyone wants it I'm here. I just want to fight the best names in the hat and they're the best names in the hat."
McComb's trainer Pete Taylor commented: "Nobody wants to fight Sean. He's a nightmare for anybody in the world and everybody's avoiding him after the Barboza fight.
"It would have been better off really for us if he got knocked out because people would fight him. Now everybody knows where he belongs because we were robbed. We were robbed that day against BarboZa so this could have started a great journey for us."
Taylor added: "We'll fight anybody and you know, boxers say that 'I'll fight anybody', we actually will fight anybody. Anybody that's out there wants to take the chance, we're there."

Australian media reaction: Praise for Lions' Pollock, Russell, kick restart will have Suaalii licking his lips
How much can you truly read into a British & Irish Lions tour opener? Was this the kind of performance level that the Lions will be capable of reaching further down the line? No. Did the 54-7 scoreline against the Western Force flatter Andy Farrell's men? Probably. What the Australian media have taken from the clash is a better idea of what Farrell's backline may be, come the first Test against the Wallabies. Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, columnist Paul Cully insists the Lions backline is more or less locked in. "Jamison Gibson-Park, Finn Russell, James Lowe, Bundee Aki, Garry Ringrose and Mack Hansen will start the first Test against the Wallabies in Brisbane, with only the fullback position looking particularly contestable between Elliot Daly, Blair Kinghorn and Hugo Keenan," Cully writes. "It was clear in Perth that the Irish contingent are understandably more comfortable with coach Andy Farrell's style of play, with No 13 Ringrose the key man defensively with his line speed. "Schmidt won't mind that tactic, particularly with Len Ikitau or Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii good enough or strong enough to take the hit from Ringrose and get the ball wider or beat him with footwork... on the flipside, Russell's quick hands were a joy to watch in Perth - he really does belong among the elite in terms of the deception he can offer at the line." So where can the Lions be got at then? Kick restarts proved a bit of an issue for Farrell's men on opening night in Perth. Ball recoveries from those very scenarios have become a trademark of Suaalii's game since his switch to Union from League. Jamie Pandaram of the Daily Telegraph feels it is a part of the game where Joe Schmidt's Wallabies can get a lot of joy, especially with a weapon like Suaalii. "Suaalii looms as the greatest threat to the British & Irish Lions after the Western Force exposed a glaring weakness the Wallabies can exploit." Pandaram said. "The Lions, despite their 54-7 win in Perth, look vulnerable from kick restarts, and Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt is sure to launch big-jumping Suaalii from kick-offs against the shaky tourists. "They lost four of eight kick restarts against the Force at Optus Stadium, as Nic White's pinpoint kick-offs found a flying Dylan Pietsch or caused Lions errors, after they'd been targeted in the same area the previous weekend when Argentina beat them 28-24." Cully of the SMH added, on the Lions' defensive weak spots: "The defensive issues that prevented Lowe from being an All Black also pop up sporadically, so there will be opportunities for the Wallabies if they are good enough." There was, of course, plenty praise for a Lions team early on their journey to the three Test matches. "The Lions showed they also have plenty to make the Wallabies concerned," Pandaram said. "Their transition from turnover to attack, particularly in the second half, was stunningly fast, leading to several long-range tries." And onto Henry Pollock. The dynamic youngster gets people up out of their seats, like him or loathe him. Does he feature from the start in a Test, or two, or three? Only time will tell, but the view from Down Under is that he will prove to be a thorn in their side for a long time. "Henry Pollock looks like a stereotypical English backpacker you want to dislike, but his performance against the Western Force on Saturday makes that impossible," Cully wrote. "His athleticism, ambition and offloads made international teammates such as Lions No 6 Tadhg Beirne, who is badly out of form, look like they were running in mud or playing a different version of the sport before a new software update kicked in. "Forget the off-the-ball stuff, it really is peripheral - Pollock's main contribution in Perth was to remind everyone that games of rugby can still be unlocked by the right type of athlete. "The bad news for the Wallabies is that Pollock looks like he can be a 10-year nemesis for the Wallabies - a rare talent."

Nobody knows what goes inside there in our dressing room. As fellas we love each other. We're a really tight group and I think that showed there today. Read More On GAA "We'd asked the Kerry crowd to get behind us today and they really did help us out there during that second half." He was then asked had their more fringe players proven they're up to the task of being potential All-Ireland winners. The three-time All-Star noted that today's contest enforced another case of "next man up" on them when star defender Tom O'Sullivan was forced off with a muscle injury. He added: "People have probably talked about our squad and said that we don't have strength in depth. Most read in GAA Football "But we showed today that we do. Look at Evan Looney coming in for Tom O'Sullivan after 10 or 15 minutes. "In only his third or fourth Championship game I thought he took it to like a duck to water. Nothing phased him.
