Carl Frampton shows positive face of sport

Carl Frampton is completely dedicated to boxing but he is also prepared to take an active interest in a range of other sports.

The former world champion is a strong supporter of golfer Rory McIlroy, the Northern Ireland soccer team and the Ulster rugby squad and, as we report today, has also turned up in west Belfast wearing an Antrim GAA jersey.

His gesture has been very well received by GAA followers, with a record number of social media retweets, and again proves that, even in a divided society, sport can cross all boundaries.
