Carl Frampton 'open to Scott Quigg showdown'

Carl Frampton says that he would love to fight Scott Quigg after dispatching of Chris Avalos in Belfast.

World champion Carl Frampton has opened the door for a possible match with Englishman Scott Quigg.

Frampton made the first successful defence of his IBF super-bantamweight crown by stopping Chris Avalos in five rounds at Belfast's Odyssey Arena on Saturday night.

However, the Jackal believes that Avalos did not present a tough enough challenge.

He told ITV: "Amazing atmosphere, as always, in here. Better and better every time. I felt great in there tonight, absolutely amazing. And to be honest that was easy, very easy.

"He punched very slow. When he turned his back on me he wanted out, that was obvious. He's a tough guy and he kept his feet, so give him credit.

"Scott Quigg and I would both love a summer showdown between the two of us. Scott needs to remember who's the real world champion. It's a massive fight and it should happen. I would leave Belfast if I have to."

Frampton won the IBF crown back in September with a points victory over Kiko Martinez.
