Speaking about his mini-fracas with Quigg and Hearn as well the dressing room post press conference Frampton said,

“We were staring at each other for quite a while and he didn’t want to look away first. I said I’d look away. I tapped him on the shoulder and he grabbed me. I gripped him back. It was handbags really.

“The big guy Eddie tried to get involved and act Jack the Lad. I didn’t like it. Big man, the size of him but he quickly backed off.

“We hold our ground. It’s the same situation with the dressing room. I’m in it or nobody’s in it. Just imagine these guys pulling their hair out. What they’re doing’s not working. It’s going to be good tomorrow.”
