Billy Dib is eyeing one last big run, with the former IBF world champion eyeing an all-Australian showdown if he gets past the upcoming challenge of rising star Jacob Ng. 

Australian boxing has never been more talked about than it is currently, and Dib faces highly touted, world-rated Australian, Jacob Ng, in a clash that could be an early contender for Fight of The Year on home soil.

Dib and Ng will clash on March 19 at the Star Casino on Australia’s Gold Coast on an ACE Boxing promoted event and the former 126-pound champion discussed his upcoming make-or-break clash with Ng.

“This is a fantastic fight for Australia, and it is a massive opportunity for me to put myself right back in contention for a world title clash. I want to thank Angelo Di Carlo and ACE Boxing for giving me this opportunity," Dib said.

“I can’t speak highly enough of ACE Boxing. They are one of the best promoters I’ve ever worked with not just in Australia, but globally. They put on fantastic events and I consider Angelo and Alife Di Carlo as close as family. I can’t speak highly enough of them.

“Despite my love for the team at ACE Boxing, I’m coming to upset their guy. Jacob is a fantastic fighter and a really talented boxer. He has a massive future, that’s undoubted, but I believe my experience will play a factor in this fight. My boxing skill and IQ will win me this fight.”

Despite insisting that he has no plans to overlook the challenge of the heavy-handed Ng, however, a potential clash with WBA, WBC Franchise, IBF, WBO lightweight champion George Kambosos is one that Dib is eyeing in the future.

The New South Wales warrior continued, further outlining his plans.

“I cannot stress enough how I am not overlooking Ng. He is a dangerous puncher and an athletic fighter. So I have to be switched on 100% come March 19," Dib said.

“People may think it’s a disadvantage, but I feel fighting at lightweight is a massive advantage for me. It gives me that extra breathing space I’ve been needing for a few years to get 12 quality rounds out of myself and that’s what I’m going to need to emerge victoriously against Ng.

“If everything goes to plan on March 19, the two fights I would like is Tevin Farmer. I really want to avenge that loss. If that can’t happen and the stars align, a Billy Dib vs George Kambosos event in Australia would be massive. With George winning against Teofimo Lopez, it is just more motivation for myself and likely Ng to put ourselves right in the mix for a shot at Kambosos if we can pull off the win on March 19, which I believe I will."
