After splitting with Matchroom Boxing for veteran promoter Frank Warren, junior featherweight contender Carl Frampton and manager Barry McGuigan are focused on the immediate future, which includes fighting in Belfast, a title shot and maybe an eventual showdown with Leo Santa Cruz.
Eddie Hearn, managing director of Matchroom Sport, discusses his promotional company’s massive stable, which includes Carl Froch and Ricky Burns – both of whom defend their world titles this month – David Haye, Kell Brook, Carl Frampton and other top British boxing talents.
The respectful rivalry between undefeated UK junior featherweight contenders Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg continued to build following Frampton's ninth-round TKO of Kiko Martinez in his native Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Saturday.
