On the other side of the ring, we have the Irishman Frampton who has an impressive 28-2 record. What makes the most noise of his record is not the great 28 victories, but the fact that 16 of those victories were by knockout, which goes to show that Frampton is a ruthless boxer. Frampton has won two World Titles at Junior Featherweight and Featherweight, and after this fight, he wants to be the first Irishman to be the world champion in 3 different divisions. Frampton currently comes from winning two consecutive fights with his last defeat taking place on December 2018. In this fight, he was defeated by unanimous decision by Josh Warrington, who at the time, was the best fighter for the IBF Featherweight World Title.
In his last fight, Frampton defeated Darren Traynor on August 15, 2020, by TKO in the seventh round of the BT Sport Studio event held in London, UK.
