Postponed Frampton fight may be set for Dubai
Carl Frampton's delayed world title showdown with Jamel Herring is facing new uncertainty over a possible switch of venue.
The fight was due to take place at The Copper Box Arena in London tomorrow week, February 27, but that has been postponed after the Belfast boxer suffered a hand injury.
A report yesterday suggested the contest could be rescheduled for Dubai in the United Arab Emirates a month later on March 27. His MTK management have staged several bills there during the Covid-19 pandemic although travel restrictions have seen others recently relocated to England, including Belfast fighter Sean McComb's Commonwealth lightweight contest with Gavin Gwynne in Bolton tonight.
