Former two division world champion Carl Frampton is not looking to waste any further time in his career.

He was scheduled to fight this coming Saturday night Emmanuel Dominguez in Philadelphia, but the contest was ruled out on Monday - after Frampton indicated that he suffered a serious hand injury when a hotel ornament was knocked over and landed right on his hand, which suffered two fractures.

The bout would have been the first for Frampton since losing a twelve round decision to Josh Warrington last December.

The plan for Frampton was to face Dominguez and then go for a world title.

But Frampton is now looking to bypass an interim-bout - and push himself straight to a world title opportunity.

If he receives an offer to fight one of the champions at featherweight or super featherweight - Frampton will embrace the offer with both hands.  

“I don't wanna have another fight like this. Look, the plan was to have this fight, and fight for a world title. So the plan now is still to fight for a world title. This fight has not happened. It hasn't happened for whatever reason. I’m absolutely gutted. But I don't want to have another Emmanuel Dominguez type opponent, and then fight for a world title,” Frampton told TKO presenter Chris Lloyd in an exclusive interview with JOE.

“It's a waste of your time, isn't it? It is, and I'm not getting any younger. I don't want to be sitting around waiting here. I want to be involved in big fights and I want to go straight back into a big title.

“I want to go out in a f***ing blaze of glory here. I want to be a world champion again. If I get offered a shot against any world champion, featherweight or super-featherweight, I'm taking it, absolutely no doubt in my mind.”
