This is Up Front with Simon Jordan. A show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.

On this week’s show we have a boxer who lit up his sport, in divisions that don’t always get the attention they deserve. Rising from the streets of Tiger's Bay, Belfast, Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton would go on to become a two weight world champion, bringing a noisy and partisan crowd with him no matter the venue.

Carl joins the show to discuss his action packed career, and his feud with the McGuigans, whilst also giving his unique perspective on the current boxing landscape ahead of KSI and Tommy Fury’s showdown.
