FRAMPTON JOINS WARREN

CARL FRAMPTON has signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren.

Frampton, the only Northern Irishman to have won world titles in two weight classes, had been guided by Barry McGuigan since turning professional in 2009.

However, the pair split last month after what has so far been a forgettable year for the Belfast fighter (below), who surrendered his world featherweight title to Leo Santa Cruz back in January. It completes a full overhaul of Frampton’s team, with McGuigan’s son, Shane, replaced as his trainer by Jamie Moore.
