The bout of the former world champion in two weight divisions Carl Frampton (28-2, 16 KOs) against the reigning WBO super bantamweight champion Jamel Herring (22-2, 10 KOs) is scheduled for February 27. The duel was originally supposed to take place on December 19, then January 16, and now the date of this fight was changed again.
In early 2020, Top Rank and Frank Warren assumed that this fight would take place on June 13, but the coronavirus pandemic forced the organizers to change their plans. The location of the fight, which was originally planned to be held in Belfast, has also changed.
Herring, 34, won the World Boxing Organization belt last May and has successfully defended it twice. Frampton last fought in August. The winner will have to defend the title against Shakur Stevenson in his next fight.
