Barry McGuigan lining up Leo Santa Cruz for Carl Frampton

Barry McGuigan is keen to see Carl Frampton take on California-based Mexican Leo Santa Cruz in a bid to avoid another ‘boring’ fight following last weekend’s win over Scott Quigg.

Frampton became the first Irish fighter to unify world titles when he added the WBA belt to his IBF super-bantamweight crown with a points win over long-time rival Quigg in Manchester last Saturday.

Belfast native Frampton controlled the first half of the fight in what threatened to be a timid affair until Bury’s Quigg launched a comeback in the later rounds.
