Santa Cruz vs. Frampton: Josh Taylor, Conrad Cummings Added

By Elliot Foster

Josh Taylor and Conrad Cummings will box Stateside next month.

The Cyclone Promotions-promoted duo, who campaign at super-lightweight and middleweight respectively, will return to the ring on July 30.

Taylor, a 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medal winner with a pro ledger of 5-0 (5 KOs), and Cummings (9-0-1, 4 KOs), have each featured across the pond already during their burgeoning paid careers in the sport.

But they have now confirmed transatlantic fights once more after being added to a card featuring their promotional stablemate and gym-mate Carl Frampton.

Frampton, the former IBF and Super WBA super-bantamweight world champion, will move up in weight to challenge for the Super WBA crown at featherweight against titlist Leo Santa Cruz at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, with the fight set to be aired on Showtime in the US.

The UK broadcaster for the card has yet to be determined.

Cummings and Taylor have boxed on the same bill twice this year and are set for action in tandem once more.

Their appearances on the big bill in the Big Apple, along with that of gym-mate Frampton, will be flanked by Daniel Jacobs’ fourth defence of the WBA middleweight world title and Amanda Serrano’s WBO female featherweight title defence against Dahiana Santana.
