The 25-year-old is currently 4-0 in his fledging professional career, with three of those victories coming under the UFC banner after dispatching Mike Jackson, CM Punk and Sage Northcutt in a combined five minutes and 53 seconds of Octagon time.

But the welterweight phenom says he is considering dropping down to the 155lb division in search of championship glory.

“People I’ve talked to say I have a bigger size advantage [in the lightweight division] and I’m in this to be champion,” he told Daily Star Online.

“I can be champion in both places – I’m a little young in the tooth right now – but in both places I think I can and will be champion.

“There’s a lot of guys who still want it at 170lb though, so I think can I do both [divisions].”

Fans have been patiently waiting for news of the New Jersey native’s next opponent, although Gall himself claimed he was also unsure of exactly when he would return to action.

When he does, it will not be against Dan Hardy, who respectfully rejected Gall’s call-out following his TKO win against “Super” Sage Northcutt in December.

But the two will go head-to-head in London outside The Octagon this weekend, as Hardy has been picked to host a media Q&A featuring Gall on a star-studded panel alongside heavyweight Francis Ngannou and former women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.

The world’s premier mixed martial arts promotion is currently in the capital as the city gears up to host its 20th Fight Night card, headlined by local lad Jimi Manuwa as he takes on Corey Anderson in a light heavyweight clash.

And Gall was full of praise for both men.

“Jimi Manuwa has got some serious knockout power, he’s got some serious hands,” he continued.

“Corey Anderson is very well rounded, great wrestler, grinder. The later that fight goes, the better for Corey Anderson but at any moment Jimi’s got that one-hit-or-quit.

“He can turn out the light switch at any time, so don’t blink.”

UFC Fight Night 107 will take place at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday evening. Fight Pass subscribers can tune in for the prelims from 5.30pm. The main card will begin at 9pm, broadcast live on BT Sport 2.
