Carl Frampton: record, next fight and profile →
Carl Frampton has responded to reports regarding his injured hands – insisting he will be more than ready for a potential fight in May. Frampton (27-2, 15 KOs) made a successful return to the ring in November, as he dropped previously unbeaten Tyler McCreary twice on his way to a dominant victory in Las Vegas.
Carl Frampton will get the chance to become a three-weight world champion in his home city this summer. Frank Warren and Bob Arum will co-promote his challenge for Jamel Herring’s WBO super-featherweight title in Belfast when the former two-weight world champion has recovered from surgery on both hands.
WBO super featherweight champion Jamel Herring is very confident that he can beat Carl Frampton anywhere in the world. And that confidence is why Herring is willing to travel over to Belfast to face the Irish two-division champion in hostile territory. The fight was being positioned for a date in May, but now it may get pushed back due to serious hand injuries that Frampton suffered in his November win over Tyler McCreery in Las Vegas.
Months after Michael Conlan publicly apologized for a pro-IRA themed ring entrance from earlier this year, Bob Arum was forced to walk back comments suggesting his fighter do it all over again. The 88-year old Hall of Fame promoter landed in the hot seat following ignorant comments made in press row following in-ring action at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Belfast’s Conlan (13-0, 7KOs) opened up the ESPN-televised tripleheader, scoring a unanimous decision over Russia’s Vladimir Nikitin in a “rematch” to their controversial meeting in the quarterfinal round of the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Carl Frampton’s ambition of becoming a three-weight world champion could take place next May in Belfast. After nearly a year out of the ring the Northern Irishman returned in impressive fashion on November 30 comprehensively outpointing Tyler McCreary inside the Chelsea Ballroom at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. A polished display, combined with accurate body shots which put the American down in the first and sixth round, have paved the way for the 32-year-old to face WBO Super Featherweight champion Jamel Herring.
