The WBC diamond belt is also in dispute.

“I am excited anxious and happy to step back in the ring. I want to go out and show what I have worked on,” Santa Cruz told Fightnews.com®. “I feel great with strength and conditioning and power. This camp has been good. I want to show I am better than Carl Frampton.”

Santa Cruz’ father/trainer Jose Santa Cruz added, “I have been here for this entire camp. It has been great with training and sparring. I believe me not being present for the last camp affected him.”
