UTV Ireland will show Carl Frampton's next world title defence

The Belfast boxer takes on Alejandro Gonzalez Jr in mid July.

CYCLONE PROMOTIONS TODAY confirmed that Carl Frampton’s next world title defence will be broadcast live on UTV Ireland on Saturday, 18 July.

The Belfast boxer will defend his IBF World Super Bantamweight Title against Alejandro Gonzalez Jr in El Paso, Texas at the Don Haskins Centre.

Frampton’s first title defence against the USA’s Chris Avalos in February was also broadcast on terrestrial television to an audience of over two million viewers in the UK and Ireland on both ITV and UTV Ireland.

And, it seems, UPC subscribers will get a chance to see Frampton defend his title for a second time as UTV Ireland will have live coverage of the main event from 9.45pm.

Live coverage of the undercard to Frampton vs Gonzalez Jr, however, will only be available on ITV4 at 9pm.

Tributes pour in as ‘this generation’s Arkle’ — Kauto Star — dies following a fall

Today could be D-Day for Jose Aldo but it’s ‘highly unlikely’ he’ll be ruled out

    Neil Warnock is picked up swearing in every live broadcast, why aren’t all held to the same standard?

    There’s some library of “Mourinho looking miserable” stock photos.

    I’m not Mourinho’s biggest fan but certain managers can abuse opposition players and dance in the face of officials and not get charged.

    Mourinho says something inaudible and in a different language and he gets charged.

    He’s certainly not flavour of the month.

    Can’t stand Mourinho as a manager but this PC brigade stuff is just petty! Leave him off I say, not hurting anyone.

    He should learn to curse “as Gaeilge”.

    Typical English FA toffs can’t wait for Brexit for the whole country to explode with foreigners be routinely victimized- Warnock routinely swears – the jolly auld English justice
