I would certainly be very hopeful that the next fight after this would be for a world title."

Macklin admits that one champion he would like to challenge is WBA Super Champion Daniel Geale, who went to Germany and defeated Felix Sturm in on September 1 to add the IBF belt to his collection.

“Stylistically Geale would suit me. Daniel Geale on St. Patrick’s Day in Madison Square Garden would be perfect,” Macklin said.

Before he can dream of another big fight at the Garden, Macklin will have to make sure that he wins this weekend in Vegas.
