Carl Frampton will rematch Leo Santa Cruz

Carl Frampton fight time

CARL FRAMPTON will rematch Leo Santa Cruz. The two engaged in a thrilling battle in New York in July that Frampton won on points. Details on the rematch, including the date and venue, are expected soon.

Frampton has already had a breakthrough year, defeating great rival Scott Quigg before taking on Santa Cruz, a high calibre world champion in the division above. Their rematch will surely be explosive.

Framptonโ€™s trainer Shane McGuigan expects his man to knock out the Mexican. โ€œI thought heโ€™d have gone, to be honest. I thought Carl would be able to knock him out,โ€ Shane said. โ€œIโ€™m confident Carl can knock him out. Carl hit him clean a few times but a lot of the time they were diffused by Santa Cruzโ€™s arms. Heโ€™s got a very tight defence. He hit Frampton flush, 15, 20 times, clean on the chin. Never budged Carl once. So Carl can go into the next fight with a lot of confidence.โ€
