There is little chance of a unification between newly crowned IBF super bantamweight champion Carl Frampton (19-0, 13KOs) and two-time Olympic gold medal winner Guillermo Rigondeaux (14-0, 9KOs), who holds the WBA/WBO titles.
Frampton capture his title on Saturday in Belfast, with a twelve round decision over Kiko Martinez. He would prefer a unification with the WBA's 'regular' champion Scott Quigg or WBC titleholder Leo Santa Cruz.
Frampton's manager, Barry McGuigan, says a fight with Rigondeaux will be difficult to make, because the talented Cuban brings a very tough style and nothing else to entice such a match.
"Don't get me wrong, he's fabulous," said McGuigan. "But he's awkward, negative, not nice to fight, impossible to look good against, brings no support, no money, no television and makes no financial sense."
