Carl Frampton, MBE (born 21 February 1987) is a professional boxer from Northern Ireland. He is a former two-weight world champion, having held the IBF super-bantamweight title from 2014 to 2016, the WBA (Super) super-bantamweight title in 2016, and the WBA (Super) featherweight title from 2016 to 2017. At regional level he held the Commonwealth super-bantamweight title from 2011 to 2013, and the European super-bantamweight title from 2013 to 2014. By winning the featherweight world title in 2016, Frampton became the first boxer from Northern Ireland and only the second boxer from Ireland to have held world titles in two weight classes (the first being Steve Collins). This also earned him Fighter of the Year awards by The Ring magazine, the Boxing Writers Association of America, and ESPN.
As of February 2017, Frampton is ranked as the world's tenth best boxer, pound for pound, by BoxRec; he is also ranked as the world's second best featherweight by BoxRec and the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and third by The Ring magazine.
Amateur boxing in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is governed by the Irish Amateur Boxing Association. As an amateur, Frampton fought out of the Midland Boxing Club in Tiger's Bay and won the Irish senior flyweight title in 2005 and added the Irish featherweight title in 2009, beating David Oliver Joyce in the final.
