Commonwealth champion will look to enhance reputation

Carl Frampton will feature on the undercard when Carl Froch takes on IBF super-middleweight champion Lucien Bute on May 26. Frampton is set to defend his Commonwealth super-bantamweight title for the third time against an as-yet unnamed opponent at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham. The unbeaten British number three will be keen to impress with top domestic duo Scott Quigg and Rendall Munroe teeing off on June 16. Frampton will be hoping to face the winner of that match-up, although neither fighter expressed an interest in the Barry McGuigan-managed Frampton on a recent episode of Ringside. The undercard will also feature Engllish light-middleweight champion Erick Ochieng as well as Matchroom prospects John Ryder and Scott Cardle. "It's a great line-up and another chance for Carl Frampton to get massive exposure," said promoter Eddie Hearn.
