33-year-old Carl Frampton appears confident about vanquishing Jamel Herring to grab the super featherweight title when they lock horns in early 2021.
Frampton has already held the super bantamweight and featherweight strap and envisions to become a three-divisional world champion against Herring. However, he acknowledges the latter as a tough contender.
But that isn’t shaking his mindset from achieving the eventual goal. According to ‘The Jackal’, he wants to be the first Irishman to become a three-weight world champ and considers himself fortunate to have grabbed the chance.

Speaking about it, Frampton said, “I’m feeling sharp and where I need to be. I am working on things I think that will work against Jamel Herring. He’s easily the biggest man I’ve ever fought and a southpaw as well. They’re all taller than me and I’ve fought taller people all my career. We’re going to be the same weight on the night.”

He added, “There’s never been an Irish three-weight world champion so for me to have the chance to do that I feel I’m in a lucky position and I’ll do everything to make sure that happens. I’m determined to win this fight and I’ve a strong confidence in myself that I will become a three-weight world champion.”
Whether he gets the win or not, Frampton appears to be at the peak of his career. He is riding on a two-fight win streak and has all the chances of becoming a three-division champion in the coming days.
