Carl Frampton v Jamel Herring

[Spicoli]

Man that's really unfortunate. One of these two must be cursed. Herring has a fights postponed twice because of Covid and yet again Frampton turns up a hand injury. Didn't he also break the right against McCreary?!

Carl Frampton vs Jamel Herring: Free-to-air TV channel could yet show bout in UK

The Jackal will bid to become Ireland's first ever three-weight world champion on April 3

The Jackal will bid to become Ireland's first ever three-weight world champion when he takes on WBO World super-featherweight king Herring on Saturday, April 3.

It was announced earlier this week that the bout would be shown on iFL TV in the UK and Ireland, a boxing streaming channel which shows live events on its YouTube channel.

Now it is being reported that Channel 5 could show the fight free-to-air next Saturday night.

Mike Coppinger from The Athletic said: "Source: The Jamel Herring-Carl Frampton title tilt on April 3 will be televised on free-to-air Channel 5 in the U.K. Frampton bidding to become first Irish three-division champ ever."



Fight fans in the UK have been wondering how they will get to watch the big fight, which is taking place at the The Rotunda at Caesars Palace, Bluewaters, Dubai.

BT Sport had the rights when the fight was originally scheduled for February 27 in London, but then it was postponed after Frampton picked up a minor hand injury.

But BT appeared to have cooled their interest after the event was rescheduled for Dubai.

This'll be around 1am as Dubai is 3 hrs ahead of London.

I assume since this is being held in Dubai that it's an MTK set up/show? Is that why BT haven't picked it up given the BBC documentary of late?
Be pretty good if Channel5 pick it up.

Could well be that reason that BT have chosen not to show it , I've got all the ESPN channels so will watch it on there.

Frampton: "I'm 34 now. I won't be boxing when I'm 36, I'll tell you that.

"I know there isn't too long left, and I will get out at the right time. But I still have a few fights left in me."
"I think my kids Carla and Rossa are looking forward to me retiring.

"And [wife] Christine, hopefully, too. I am not sure. Me being around the house all the time might not be brilliant."

Herring: "I do take one fight at a time but if I beat Carl then there are mega fights out there for me at super-featherweight and, who knows, I may move up to lightweight.

"A unification fight at super-featherweight would be very big and another world title at lightweight would be great as well.

"Beating Carl would mean a lot, it would be a big statement. I respect Carl a lot, he has done a tremendous job in his career and as a fan I love watching him. Beating him would take me to new heights."

Carl Frampton

"It seems like we've been talking about this fight for well over a year now. I feel like it was beneficial for me to get out here early. I had a sparring partner with me. I finished preparation here. I think it was beneficial to get used to my surroundings and the heat more than anything else. I finished off what has been a very, very good camp."

Jamel Herring

"A win over Frampton would be a career-defining milestone. You want to win a world title. OK, we win the world title. Well, what's next? We had to successfully defend our title to be considered a real champion. I'm getting to the conversation of, 'Oh, you want to face the other champions and the other big names,' and Carl Frampton is a two-division world champion. He has done great things in his career."
