Currently 6-0, the rising super-bantamweight's swift rise up the ranks has most recently played on arena shows at Luna Park televised on Fox Sports.

It's where his future lies but the Albion Park product - who wears the maroon and white of the Albion Park-Oak Flats Eagles - is relishing the rare chance to duke it out on home turf.

"They're the Albion Park colours, I'll definitely be wearing them again for a home-town show," Goodman said.

"I've doing my camps on the Central Coast but I'm a Wollongong boy through and through, it's always going to be home for me and I love reppin' the area.

"It's the entertainment business so you obviously need to take those TV opportunities but I want to keep that mix because I love the support I have down here in Wollongong.

"We want to try and get at least one fight a year in Wollongong so when the right opportunity comes up we'll definitely take it."

While his opponent is still to be finalised, the bout promises to be a step up on his previous six outings, the most recent an impressive third-round TKO victory over tough 7-1 Indonesian Sunardi Gamboa.

It followed another TKO win over Filipino slugger Claudevan Sese last July, leaving him with three stoppage win in six bouts.

"It'll be another step up which we look to do in all my fights, it's a constant progression," Goodman.

"Eventually you're going to really get tested, it's inevitable, but I know I'm getting tested every day in my training and my sparring, sparring outside my weight class.

"I'm constantly testing myself in that regard. As far as fights go we're looking at that steady progression. If I get tested along the way, great, but if I'm putting guys away in the ring then I'm doing my job.

"We don't get paid overtime. If I'm making easy work of my opponents than I'm doing the job I'm in there to do."

The March 7 bout will kick off a big 2020 campaign, with title opportunities looming on the horizon. It also means there's plenty at stake each time he climbs through the ropes, with the 21-year-old insisting he never looks past any opponent.

"We'll be hopefully having a quick turnaround in May but first and foremost I've got to get the job done here on a big show in Wollongong," Goodman said.

"If I lose here none of those other other plans come to fruition. I think every fighter deserves respect and you need to respect having someone in front of you because you're only a shot away from slipping up in this sport.

"I've seen a lot people make those mistakes. In the amateurs I've overlooked people that have given me a much tougher fight than I've expected.

"I prepare the same way for every fight looking to better myself. If I do that I know I'll be fine by fight night."
