Carl Frampton To Fight Nonito Donaire In Belfast

Belfast boxer Carl Frampton is to take part in a featherweight fight with Nonito Donaire at Belfast's SSE Arena on 21 April, it has been confirmed.

The Tigers Bay boxer is continuing his pursuit of what he hopes will be another world-title fight against the Filipino.

Frampton has said he plans to fight at Windsor Park in the summer against the winner of the match-up between Josh Warrington and Lee Selby.

He said: "I think both of us are in the same situation – a slip-up here and one of us might never fight for a world title again. There's a lot on the line for both guys."
