Liverpool's Tony Bellew has insisted that he is ready for another attempt at a cruiserweight world title after beating Ivica Bacurin.
The 32-year-old, who was back in the ring for the first time since November, floored Bacurin three times before the fight was stopped in the 10th round.
"It was great to be back in there and back where I belong. I am ready for a world title shot," Bellew told Sky Sports News.
"[Promoter] Eddie Hearn has delivered on every word he has said from day one and I believe that he will bring me that shot."
Bellew is now being considered as a possible opponent for current IBF holder Yoan Pablo Hernandez.
