BOXING: Frampton focused on securing world title shot

Carl Frampton hopes an impressive victory in the Odyssey Arena tonight will help secure a coveted world title shot.

‘The Jackal’ challenges Kiko Martinez in Belfast for the European super bantamweight belt in the knowledge a win will leave the Irish Fighter of the Year on the verge of global glory.

Frampton is hoping to secure a shot at arch nemesis and WBA interim champion Scott Quigg, but if the English man continues to reject his advances he will pursue the IBF strap and a world title fight in just his 16th bout.
