Carl Frampton planning big ‘upset’

New York may have been sweltering in the high summer heat, but boxer Carl Frampton strode the streets yesterday as the very definition of cool. Just 72 hours out from the biggest night of his life, the Jackal was calm, collected and ready to pounce.

Frampton will move up in weight and take a significant jump in class to stare down Leo Santa Cruz in Brooklyn on Saturday night, with the WBA super featherweight title on the line.

Being able to let his own belt out that extra notch has clearly treated Belfast’s champion well.
