When asked his thoughts about the fight, Frampton commented, "I can't wait for fight night. It should make for a good scrap, It’s another step in the right direction to closing in on the likes of Booth etc."

Frampton was recently on the verge of the biggest fight of his career when a proposed bout against Spanish fighter Joaquin Cespedes for the vacant EU Super Bantamweight title but the fight unfortunately didn't happen and Frampton's camp, run by former World Champion Barry McGuigan had to look elsewhere to keep the Belfast man busy.
