Carl Frampton finally gets his man as European super bantamweight champion Kiko Martinez agrees to fight 'The Jackal' in Belfast on Saturday, February 9.

Unbeaten Belfast super bantamweight Carl Frampton will finally meet Kiko Martinez at the Odyssey Arena on Saturday, February 9.

Martinez has twice pulled out of a proposed fight with Frampton but has put pen to paper on an agreement to face 'The Jackal' in a defence of his European title.

Frampton has admitted that he is relieved to finally get the chance to test his skills against the experienced Spaniard.

He said: "He's pulled out on me twice so I have a score to settle with him there.

"It's a great fight for the fans and one that I have craved for a long time.

"I had too much for Steve Molitor and he was a step up, so I am confident I can beat Kiko and do so in style."

Frampton is in the mix with Scott Quigg and Kid Galahad in an exciting super bantamweight division at domestic level.
