CARL Frampton’s next fight will be in Philadelphia on Saturday, August 10 against an as yet unnamed opponent.
MTK's Jamie Conlan has confirmed ‘The Jackal’, who hasn’t been in action since his December 22 loss to IBF featherweight champion Josh Warrington, is due to top the bill at the Liacouras Center, the venue for the Jono Carroll versus Tevin Farmer and Katie Taylor v Rose Volante world title fights on St Patrick’s weekend.
Frampton had said he wanted a fight this summer to prepare for a shot at WBO champion Oscar Valdez before the end of the year. Valdez (26-0 with 20 stoppage wins) has been mulling over a move up to super-featherweight but could postpone the switch to accommodate Frampton in Las Vegas.
