The Barry McGuigan managed super-bantamweight boxes on the Paul McCloskey European title undercard.

“I’ve dreamed of fighting in the King’s Hall since I was a kid and for me being a Belfast boy it is going to be a great night,” stated the exciting North Belfast prospect. “It’s going to bring out the best in me so I can’t wait to get it on.”

Frampton now 23-year-old is scheduled to box an English go-getter Ian Bailey - and the Englishman record is to be respected 4 wins out of 5 contests whilst Frampton has 5-0 with three of the wins by KO as a professional.

Veteran coach Gerry Storey, who handles Frampton in his Holy Family club in Belfast is also on hand offering words of advice.

“I’m absolutely delighted that all the boys are back in action at the King’s Hall,” commented Storey, “and as far as I’m concerned, with regards to Carl, of all the fighters I’ve looked after he is one of the best.

“He’s going to be the next star of Belfast, bringing the crowd back into the King’s Hall and this is just the way to school him, by putting on in a supporting role on a big card.

“I have no doubt that this guy will go all the way to the top,” opined Gerry.
