So says D&L Events promoter Dean Lonergan as he prepares to negotiate a domestic showdown between his prize fighter Jeff Horn and boxing royalty in Tim Tszyu.

The latter's promoter Matt Rose has reportedly accepted a 60-40 pay split in Horn's favour to fast-track talks for a bout on April 18.

Lonergan is adamant the fight is far from done but is determined to make the bout happen as boxing creeps back into the mainstream eye.

"This is a hell of an exciting time," Lonergan said.

"In a years' time, the Australian boxing landscape is going to look incredibly different to what it is now in terms of its popularity and also as to how many world titles people start challenging for.

"It's incredibly exciting, because all of a sudden [we have so much] instead of just having Jeff Horn leading the charge. Michael Zerafa has really come to the fore, you talk about that last fight being an Australian classic, Zerafa equally made that a classic.

"Tim Tszyu is coming through in a big way. Then there are all of these other guys I've got signed.

"We're starting to see the breadth in Australian boxing that we haven't seen for a long time."

Because beyond Horn, Tszyu and Zerafa, there is Andrew Moloney, who holds a version of the World Boxing Association's world super flyweight title.

Then there is his brother Jason Moloney who is poised to earn a world title shot this year.

Beyond them is "outstanding" Victorian super middleweight Jayde Mitchell, who will headline the next National Boxing Series event on February 29.

Joining Mitchell and Horn in Lonergan's stable are unbeaten rising stars Issac Hardman, Liam Wilson and the "fascinating" Jai Opetaia.

The latter is ranked by the IBF as the world's No. 6 cruiserweight and Lonergan hopes he will move into the top five of the major four organisations following his next bout.

These are all names Lonergan believes can become stars in Australian sport - and the wave will only get bigger if Horn-Tszyu gets over the line for April.

"They might have accepted the 60-40, but that doesn't mean anything. The reason I say it doesn't mean anything is there is a whole lot of detail to work out," Lonergan said.

"First and foremost, you have to get stuff in there about rematch clauses and how they would work, that was a big bone of contention with Michael Zerafa.

"Are they prepared to go where we tell them to go? I don't know, all I've seen and heard is they will accept the 60-40 but that's just the start.

"There's a long way to go. I haven't had an in-depth discussion with Matty Rose yet. Until Matt and I nail all the details and get a signed agreement, as far as I'm concerned there is nothing in place.

"We've got a long way to go yet, if they have agreed to the 60-40 which they're saying in the media, which I don't think they will back away from, there's a whole lot of detail to go through yet.

"This is far from done."
