Newly crowned IBO champion Reid

Reid overcame serious head cuts to floor home favourite Brian Magee four times and gain a unanimous points victory at the King's Hall.

"That fight was really an eliminator for the WBA title," said Reid.

"I have to move on to better things and that means a major world title fight. The division is opening up for me."

Former WBC champion Reid said he would be willing to give Magee a re-match after their bruising 12-round battle.

"As soon as I felt the blood coming down my face I knew it was bad and I was saying to myself "Please don't stop it, not now" because I knew that every time I clipped him, he couldn't take the power," he said.

"I appreciate he gave me the chance and I would be willing to give him a return."

But Reid's promoter Jess Harding said that at the age of 33, the Runcorn fighter did not have time on his side, so he wanted to set up a home bout with either Siaca or newly-crowned WBC champion Cristiano Sanavia.

"Robin doesn't have a lot of time left, so I want to get the major title fight in the UK," said Harding.

"He's had to travel a lot but I want him to get home advantage this time."
