Yes, he’s Northern Ireland’s only two-weight world champion and the finest fighter to come from the province.
But he feels he falls down in the claim to be the greatest from the whole island because he failed in his attempt to become a three-weight world champion.His bid against Jamel Herring at super-featherweight ended in defeat in 2021 and Frampton announced his retirement immediately afterwards.“I’m very happy with my career, a two-weight world champion, the only one from Northern Ireland,” he told Mirror Sport.
“One of three from Ireland to do that - myself, Steve Collins and Katie Taylor. I tried for a third weight, it didn’t work out, but that doesn’t bother me any more."I may have if I had become a three-weight world champion. But I’m not a three-weight world champion and I’m just happy to be in the conversation.”
