Andres Gutierrez the test rebounding Carl Frampton needs

Barry McGuigan claims unheralded Mexican Andres Gutierrez presents the perfect comeback challenge for Carl Frampton as the two-weight world champion looks to bounce back from his first defeat this weekend.

Belfast native Frampton fights in his home city for the first time in two and a half years on Saturday night when he takes on 24-year-old Andres Gutierrez, who carries a 35-1-1 record.

The bout will also see the Irishman return to the ring following his rematch loss to Mexican-American Leo Santa Cruz last January, Frampton’s first professional defeat.
