Carl Frampton believes he will headline “one of the biggest boxing bills Irish boxing has ever seen” when he makes his ring return on the same night that Jamie Conlan will challenge for a world title in Belfast.

Paddy Barnes is in for a shock tonight, according to former world-title challenger Silvio Olteanu ahead of their WBO European flyweight title clash in Belfast. The pair headline a Waterfront Hall fight bill that will be broadcast live on BoxNation, with two-time Olympic medallist Barnes challenging for his first professional belt, which ensures a world ranking for the winner, in just his third paid bout.
