Carl Frampton vs Vahram Vardanyan Live

Carl Frampton makes his long-awaited return to the ring tonight as he takes on Darren Traynor at London's York Hall.

The Belfast fighter began his super-featherweight campaign last November with victory over Tyler McCreary and had hoped to become a three-weight world champion this summer.

The coronavirus outbreak has put his showdown with WBO champion Jamel Herring on hold however with the 33-year-old taking on replacement opponent Traynor in a bid to shake off any ring rust after months on lockdown – with hope that title fight can take place later this year.

Frampton - who was originally supposed to fight Vahram Vardanyan, only for the Armenian to withdraw due to a visa issue - headlines a stacked card as part of Frank Warren’s series of summer shows behind closed doors.

Fellow Belfast fighter Michael Conlan is also on the bill, looking to extend his undefeated record against Sofiane Takoucht, a former opponent of IBF world champion Josh Warrington.

Promising super-featherweight Archie Sharp will also feature, putting his WBO European belt on the line against Jeff Ofori.
