WATCH: ‘Santa Cruz v Frampton Retrospective’ Promo

We are just nine days away from the big fight, where Belfast hero Carl Frampton [23(14)-0] will look to defend his WBA featherweight title against Leo Santa Cruz [32(18)-1(0)-1] at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The January 28th clash is a rematch of the pair’s epic battle at the Barclays Centre in New York last Summer.

That July night in New York, Frampton upset the odds to defeat the champion via majority decision.

To refresh and recap ahead of the rematch next week, Showtime (who will air the bout in America) have released the following promo which features snippets from the clash and both fighters’ reflections on the bout.
