Jamel Herring and Carl Frampton can look forward to meeting in the ring whenever boxing resumes with its normally scheduled programming.

Both sides have reached an agreement for their forthcoming junior lightweight title fight, promoter Frank Warren announced on Wednesday.

"Terms are agreed for @RealCFrampton to challenge @JamelHerring for the WBO World Super Featherweight Championship," Warren tweeted from his verified social media account. "News on date and venue coming soon..."

The working date has been June 13 in Frampton's hometown of Belfast, Northern Ireland. However, the ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has brought sporting events to a grinding halt, leaving every situation fluid until a clearer picture can be provided of when a sense of normalcy resurfaces.

The bout has been teased ever since both scored separate wins over previously unbeaten opposition last November. Frampton (27-2, 15KOs) scored a 10-round shutout of unbeaten featherweight prospect Tyler McCreary in their 128-pound catchweight contest. The win came three weeks after Herring (21-2, 10KOs) lodged the first successful defense of his 130-pound title, handing Lamont Roach Jr. his first defeat in a 12-round decision win.

Both fights aired live on ESPN platforms, one of which will also carry this particular event. Should plans remain on course for it to take place in Belfast, it will mark the first pro fight overseas for Herring, a 34-year old southpaw from the Coram section of Long Island, New York who now lives in Cincinnati. The trek to the United Kingdom marks a fitting first fight abroad, as Herring last fought overseas in the 2012 London Olympics, where he served as team captain of the 2012 United States Olympic boxing team.

Frampton will make his debut as a full-blown junior lightweight in a bid to become a three-division titlist. The 33-year old tested the waters in his aforementioned catchweight clash with McCreary, after having spent the last three years campaigning as a featherweight. Frampton has served as champion at 122 and 126 pounds, the former reign beginning with a 9th round knockout of Kiko Martinez in their September 2014 rematch and ending with a 12-round nod over heated rival Scott Quigg in their February 2016 battle of unbeaten junior featherweight titlists.

Five months later came arguably the biggest win to date for Frampton, when he outpointed then-unbeaten Leo Santa Cruz in July 2016 to win the featherweight title. The back-to-back title wins made Frampton a slam dunk choice for 2016 Fighter of the Year, though the  glory was short-lived as he conceded his featherweight title to Santa Cruz in their January 2017 rematch. Three wins followed before dropping a competitive but clear decision to unbeaten titlist Josh Warrington in their December 2018 title fight in Manchester, England.

Herring aims to make the second defense of the title he claimed in a clear-cut decision win over Masayuki Ito last May in Kissimmee, Florida. The ESPN-televised win landed on the Saturday leading into Memorial Day weekend, with Herring—a decorated U.S. Marine and two-tour Iraqi War veteran–properly paying homage to fallen war veterans. A military theme also came of his win over Roach, which took place two days prior to Veteran's Day.
