Jamel Herring and Carl Frampton will headline the main event on Saturday night. For a long time, fans awaited this contest to take place as it has the audacity to shape up the stacked super-featherweight division. Also, this will be the first title fight for the ex-featherweight champ, Carl Frampton, at this weight class.

This battle was bound to garner attention from fans and fighters surrounding the world. Recently, the featherweight stalwart Josh Warrington asserted why he’s rooting for Frampton in this fight.

Speaking to iFL TV, he said, “Most definitely. One because of the fighter he is and two because of the money is and three, it will be fantastic for the British boxing if he can go on and become a three-weight world champion.”

Carl Frampton and Josh Warrington battled each other out in 2018 for the IBF featherweight title. The pair engaged in a fierce tussle and put on a clinical show for the fans. Though Warrington ended up on the winning vertical in this clash, he still hasn’t lost respect for his fellow opponent, Frampton.

In the above interview, the ‘Leeds Warrior’ added that Carl Frampton will have to dig in real deep to defeat Herring in this fight. But he also believes that the ‘Jackal’ has vast weapons in his arsenal to dictate the pace of the fight and subsequently end up winning it.
