There are two titles on the line, Martinez’s European super-bantamweight title and Frampton’s IBF Inter-Continental crown.  

But will it happen, is it going to be third time lucky for Frampton Vs Martinez? Martinez has twice pulled out of previous dates with Frampton before settling with new promoter Sergio Martinez, the Belfast boy says he has even more incentive to beat Martinez in front of his adoring fans. And the smart money says it will happen this time.

“He’s pulled out on me twice so I have a score to settle with him there,” said Frampton. “It’s a great fight for the fans and one that I have craved for a long time. I had too much for Steve Molitor and he was a step-up, so I am confident I can beat Kiko and do so in style."

The Spaniard assured fight fans it would be third time lucky for him and Frampton to finally lock horns, and predicted a knockout win in front of a partisan Belfast sell-out.

Frampton’s clash with Martinez will headline a massive night of boxing in Belfast as Martin Lindsay faces Lee Selby for the British and Commonwealth featherweight titles, a hotly anticipated fight that was cancelled at the 11th hour on the Frampton-Molitor undercard when Selby fell ill.
