WBA/IBF super bantamweight world champion Carl Frampton (22-0, 14KOs) is already mapping out the remainder of what has been a very successful career.

Frampton is coming off the biggest win of his career, a twelve round decision win over domestic rival Scott Quigg last month in Manchester. The victory allowed Frampton to unify the IBF/WBA belts.

The next move for Belfast star will be the biggest risk of his career, a late-summer Showtime televised showdown with undefeated WBA featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz.

Frampton could see himself fighting for another three and half years, with a maximum of 10 fights.

"You see boxers who go on that little bit too long and you can see it's had an effect on them. I don't plan on doing this for much longer. I probably have maximum another 10 fights. Probably three and a half years. I'd like to be out by 33, I don't want to set a definite age limit on it. If I'm still feeling fit and faculties all in tact - but I wouldn't like to be doing it much more than 33," Frampton said to the Belfast Telegraph.

Frampton says the biggest reason to retire from the sport early is the motivation to dedicate more of his time to his wife and children.

"I have a young family. I feel I've missed a lot of stuff I shouldn't have.  I missed my son taking his first steps, I missed my daughter doing her nativity play, things like that. It sounds small but it's a big deal. I should be there to see that. I've missed a lot because of boxing. It's something we've (with wife Christine) talked about, I've told her when it's time for me to hang them up I'm happy to be a stay at home house husband, and this is not a joke," Frampton said.
