While the United Kingdom has banned all the boxing bouts for the month of January to curb the spread of COVID-19, February will stage an electrifying 130 lbs title fight between Carl Frampton and Jamel Herring. The pair will collide on February 27 at the UK, with Herring’s WBO junior lightweight title at stake.
Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions will host the event, but the exact location is yet not revealed. However, Athletic has confirmed the news, citing another nail-biting boxing clash this year, after Ryan Garcia vs Luke Campbell on January 2.
If not for the COVID-19 tussles, Frampton vs Herring could have been staged this month. However, the entire UK is currently experiencing a new Coronavirus strain and to retain its outbreak, boxing bouts and public gatherings have been canceled. British Boxing Board of Council has passed the order. So, fans will have to wait longer to see the fights happen in Great Britain.
