Carl Frampton hopes to make a stab of it with Mack The Knife

Carl Frampton admitted he was considering “going his own way” before opting to join Matthew Macklin’s Mack The Knife Global (MTK) stable.

The Belfast feather has teamed up other Irish boxers, including Paddy Barnes, at MTK. Headed by ex-Irish middleweight Matthew Macklin and formerly known as Macklin Gym Marbella, MTK will work with the former world champion in an “advisory” role.

“MTK are a relatively new organisation and recently celebrated their fifth anniversary. But if you look at what they have already done, they have big-name fighters like Billy Joe Saunders and recruited a lot of boxers from Ireland and I feel that they can get me the best deal with a promoter” said Frampton.
