Carl Frampton has sights on becoming Ireland's first three-division world champion
“There is nobody stopping me on becoming the island of Ireland's only ever three-weight world champion.”
The Belfast fighter was beaten in the rematch while, in his last world title contest, he lost to Josh Warrington over 12 rounds, but he has been eyeing a showdown against Herring since moving up to the 130lb division.

"It may be the biggest fight of my career to date"
"I've been training very hard for this fight and went back to what got me to my world title from sparring the likes of Terence Crawford and other top talent across the nation. I can't wait to put on a great show."
