Chris Eubank Jr has travelled to Nigeria as he considers options for his return to boxing.
The British star has been absent from the ring since he underwent surgery following a points loss in his rematch with Conor Benn last November.
But Eubank Jr has indicated that he is ready to resume his ring career, posting footage of him being greeted by a large crowd of young fans in Nigeria.
He added the caption: "Active in the streets of Lagos. Watch this space."
Nigerian promoter Dr Ezekiel Adamu believes Eubank Jr would attract a massive audience if he decided to fight in Africa.
"Boxing in Africa is going from strength to strength - and Nigeria is at the heart of it," Adamu told Your Site.
"We have the talent, we have the backing, we have the resources to build something incredible here. We can make Nigeria the global home of boxing, bringing international superstars here and showcasing our homegrown talent.
"Chris Eubank Jr has been over here for the past week, and we've had great discussions with the Government.
"We hope the next time we see Chris Eubank in the ring, it'll be in Lagos.
"Chris Eubank Jr is one of the biggest draws in world boxing. We want to create a moment this year where the whole world stops. There is a very strong likelihood we make that happen."
Eubank Jr had stopped Liam Smith in a rematch and also defeated Benn on points in their first fight as he had moved towards a world title clash before his loss to Benn.
Your Site has contacted Eubank Jr's management and promotional team for a comment.
