Unfortunate news has been released that a freak accident at his hotel has thwarted Carl Frampton’s long awaited return to the ring on Saturday in Philadelphia.. Apparently a large ornamental pillar dropped onto the Belfast fighters hand, breaking two bones and forcing him to pull out of his ring return against Emmanuel Dominguez on just 4 days notice..
Frampton’s fight with Mexican Dominguez, 26-8-2 (18 Ko’s) would have been Carl’s first appearance since his upset championship loss to Josh Warrington 7 months ago.. The 32 year old Frampton 26-2 (15 Ko’s) held titles at both Super Bantamweight and featherweight and had reportedly been looking superb in his preparations for this coming weekends fight.. Ironically Carl found himself of the opposite end of a bizarre last minute fight cancellation back in 2017 when scheduled opponent Andres Gutierrez slipped in the shower only days ahead of their bout forcing a cancellation..
Frampton v Dominguez was scheduled to take place at The Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, hosted by his new promoters Top Rank..
