CARL FRAMPTON marks his return to the ring for the first time since losing to Josh Warrington 11-months ago.
The Northern Irishman faces Tyler McCreary over 10 rounds in Las Vegas, three months after a “freak” injury saw him pull out of his fight with Emmanuel Dominguez days before the bout.
When is Frampton vs Martin?
THE fight takes place in Las Vegas tonight, with Frampton set to make his ring walk around 3.30am.
Frampton was meant to be the chief support act for ex-featherweight world champion Oscar Valdez, but the Mexican’s opponent Andres Gutierrez weighed 11lbs overweight.
As a result Valdez will instead face Adam Lopez.
Frampton will also be making his super-featherweight debut, having won world titles at super-bantamweight and featherweight.
Which TV channel and live stream can I watch it on?
BT SPORT 1 will be televising the event.

“He thinks I have been overlooking him. Maybe that gives him some comfort and encouragement. But I have been treating this fight as if it is a world title fight.”
