02/15/201602/13/2016 James Slater

Rival super-bantamweights Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg have sat down and had the face-to-face treatment courtesy of Sky Sports’ “The Gloves Are Off” series, and from what the teaser trailer shows, the full episode – to be aired tomorrow, Valentine’s Day – should be quite something.

The two men appear to have some mutual respect, with an apparently grudging handshake taking place, but the back and forth verbal exchanges suggest some very real bad blood between the IBF and the WBA champions.

We are just days away from a fight that was at least three years in the making: Scott Quigg against Carl Frampton in a super-bantamweight blockbuster that will have its venue, The Manchester Arena, rocking on February 27th.

For months and months now, the two unbeaten stars have been taunting one another, with promises of knockouts and of the beaten man being “exposed.” Quigg, trained by ace trainer Joe Gallagher, is convinced he will emerge victorious, while Frampton, guided by Barry McGuigan and trained by his son, Shane, has no doubt it will be he who has his hand raised.

Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg came head-to-head today in London for the first of the 3 city press tour dates to promote their IBF/WBA 122 lb super bantamweight unification on February 27th, with Frampton continuing to assert that it is he, and not Quigg, who is the genuine world champion.

IBF boss, Frampton, believes Quigg’s team have also taken confidence in the fact that he had a less than auspicious start to his US debut last time out in July, touching down twice early against little known Mexican, Alejandro Gonzalez Jr before going on to win; events he feels brought about the fight.
