These are two of the very best junior lightweights in the world, and tonight's showdown has been made all the more exciting because of just how long it's been in the making. Originally scheduled for last summer, it fell victim to Covid-19 and was then set for February, but had to be pushed back again after Frampton picked up a hand injury.

The Belfaster is already a hero in both Ireland and Northern Ireland, and though he has experience on his side - having fought (and won) six more fights than his opponent tonight - Herring is five inches taller than Frampton and has an 8-inch reach advantage.

Both fighters have only ever lost twice in their professional careers. Frampton last tasted defeat at the hands of Josh Warrington in a 2018 classic, while Herring is looking for a magnificent seven victories in a row since losing on points to Ladarius Miller in 2017.
