The International Boxing Organisation cruiserweight champion spent his first day back in WA yesterday relaxing with his family.

But on Wednesday, the hysteria following his win against Jones will start again when the City of Perth holds a public celebration in his honour.

Jones -- one of the greatest fighters in boxing history -- lasted just 122 seconds of the first round before succumbing to a merciless barrage of blows from the Green Machine.

Green, 36, told The Sunday Times his friends were encouraging him to commemorate the win with a fresh tattoo.

"The boys want me to get one," he said.

"I haven't started thinking about what the tattoo could be.

"I've got a bloke I go to for tattoos, but I'll keep his name quiet. He's so busy, he doesn't need extra business."

Green's upper body is covered in tattoos, including the handprints of his two children, his surname, the Olympic torch and an image of his fist breaking through a brick wall.

Green said he was still pinching himself after his win against Jones Jr.

"To achieve that in such devastating fashion in Australia was out of this world," he said.

"It's been a dream come true to cement my name in boxing legacy."

The public will get a chance to celebrate with Green on Wednesday.

"(Lord Mayor) Lisa Scaffidi and the Perth City Council have invited me to Forrest Chase at 12.30pm to give me a chance to say thank you to everyone," Green said.

"It's a lovely gesture and a great way to show my appreciation to the fans."
