Story by Stephen Moore / Photo by Brendan Galbraith | Tue. Jul. 26, 2011
Carl Frampton will take to a major stage for the first time in his fledgling career, as he prepares to take on reigning champion Kiko Martinez for the EBU Super Bantamweight Title, on the undercard of Paul McCloskey's showdown with Breidis Prescott on September 10, at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. The 24-year-old Belfast native's career, under the expert tutelage of Gerry Storey Sr. and Barry McGuigan, has been on a steady upward curve since he made his professional debut two years ago. Now he is putting his unbeaten record and reputation as one of the hottest prospects in the business on the line after only ten fights, as he prepares to take on the man who made his name with a first round demolition of Bernard Dunne in 2007.

Boxing's Next Irish Invasion >>>
by KM Stansen | Thu. June 10, 2010
