As we stumble into the 17th March, otherwise known
as St Patricks day i wanted to take this opportunity to do an article on 25
year old Featherweight Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton. A great prospect to come out
of Belfast, Northern Ireland, and a 12-0
professional. Winning the Irish Flyweight and Featherweight titles in 2005 and
2009 and a silver medal at the amateur Boxing Championships, Frampton turned
professional and beat Sandor Szinavel. 2010 saw Frampton beat Scot Gavin Reid
to win the Celtic title and be named prospect of the year, his last fight on
the 28th January saw Frampton successfully defend his Commonwealth
Super Bantamweight title which he won in September against Mark Quon. Barry
McGuigan describes Frampton as the best prospect out of Ireland and makes it
very clear that Frampton is one to watch. Everyone will now be looking at
Frampton to take on British Champion Scott Quigg as they both look to dominate
and lay claim to being the best in the division. Frampton has reportedly called
out Quigg but nothing has really materialised yet. One thing for sure The
Jackal is defiantly one to keep a close eye on in the future.
