It was a tough fight but Herring threw some uppercuts that settled the score. The former two-weight world champion was hoping to become Ireland’s first three-weight world champion.
This wasn’t even the first time, Frampton considered retirement after a loss
Frampton lost to Josh Warrington in December 2018 and was seriously contemplating his retirement. He then decided to stick it out in pursuit of another world title. After last night though, he made his final decision.
No doubt, they both put up a great fight but Herring secured the win.
