Northern Irish super-bantamweight Carl Frampton has revealed that he considers IBF super-bantamweight champion Kiko Martinez to be a "dangerous opponent" ahead of their rematch on Saturday night.
Frampton stopped Martinez in the ninth round to win the European title in February 2013 but as the two prepare to face each other for a second time in Belfast, 'The Jackal' believes that his opponent is still hurt from the result of their previous encounter.
The 27-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "He has a genuine hatred for me. I don't hate him, but I wouldn't say that we're best friends.
"You can see it in his eyes, because I'm the only guy to knock him out. He's very emotional and that's what makes him dangerous, he lets situations get to him. He's a hot-head, he can be very easily agitated but he's coming to win."
Frampton is unbeaten in 18 fights, while Martinez, who has put together four wins since their first meeting, has 31 victories from 35 bouts.
