Leo Santa Cruz vows to dethrone Carl Frampton in Vegas rematch

To say Leo Santa Cruz was comfortable in Belfast yesterday may be misleading, but the Mexican former three-weight world champion was certainly taking comfort from personal events away from the hype that goes with prize-fighting.

Santa Cruz and rival champion Carl Frampton were in the North for the first press conference of a promotional tour head of a January 28 rematch at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Undefeated Frampton (23-0) took the WBA world featherweight title off Santa Cruz (32-1-1) with an impressive majority-points win in a Fight of the Year candidate in Brooklyn last July.
