Kevin Mitchell wants to get back to Upton Park and right his world title wrong.
Live Fight Night
The lightweight takes on Daniel Estrada in a final WBC eliminator, next Saturday, at the O2 Arena, live on Sky Sports 1.
Mitchell has already fought for the world title twice, the first coming against Michael Katsidis back in 2010 at the home of West Ham United.
And the Hammers fan knows he could be one fight away from settling a score - against WBC holder Jorge Linares.
"Win this and that will be next," he told Ringside when asked about another world title shot.

I've got to put the wrongs right.
Estrada (33-2-1-KO24) was beaten in a cracking fight with Omar Figueroa on the Kell Brook-Shawn Porter undercard last August.
But he has worked his way through the WBC rankings and Mitchell (38-2-KO28) knows he cannot afford to take him lightly - and won't.
"He's a tough guy," he said. "I've worked hard and I've trained hard but I am not going to give the gameplan away because that would be stupid.
"Let's just say it's working. I's been hard and brutal but that's what we do, that's our job."
