Carl Frampton is finally finding some balance in what has been a very unbalanced year for the 30 year old boxer.
Last week ‘The Jackal’ announced a deal with MTK Global and on Sunday promoter Frank Warren tweeted that Frampton has signed with him.

His opponent is yet to be announced.
An undercard championship fight was also announced.
Jamie Conlan (19-0, 11 KO’s), another Belfast born fighter, will get a crack at the IBF World super flyweight title when he challenges champion Jerwin Ancajas (27-1-1, 18 KO’s).
Also, Zolani Tete (25-3) will put his WBO World bantamweight title on the line against challenger and triple Olympian, Paddy Barnes (3-0).
For Frampton (23-1), this will he first fight since the loss to Leo Santa Cruz back in January. He’s then split up with trainer Shane McGuigan and manager Barry McGuigan of Cyclone Promotions.
