“The rise of YouTuber fights, is a REAL concern for boxing” 🥊 Carl Frampton | Up Front

This is Up Front with Simon Jordan. A show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.
On this week’s show we have a boxer who lit up his sport, in divisions that don’t always get the attention they deserve. Rising from the streets of Tiger's Bay, Belfast, Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton would go on to become a two weight world champion, bringing a noisy and partisan crowd with him no matter the venue.
Carl joins the show to discuss his action packed career, and his feud with the McGuigans, whilst also giving his unique perspective on the current boxing landscape ahead of KSI and Tommy Fury’s showdown.

[@Swearengen86]

Can't say a bad word about Carl, great boxer, seems genuinely a good fella and is a great Pundit. He's a good role model for young lads today.

[@harryblox760]

​@@glasgowcsc2715Do you actually know what that word means? You say it with zero explanation as to why.

[@powpow9560]

Do you wanna elaborate on that or?@@glasgowcsc2715

[@ryanhamdogg9762]

Perhaps someone to look up to without actually looking up

Are you joking ? Sold his soul and helped launder drug money. Said himself in court MTK management fee was zero..!

[@josephpatrickdocherty6906]

Says it how it is. Not a company man and a gentleman into the bargain from a celtic fan. All the best lad.

[@theinfernomaster8826]

As a boxing fan from the New Lodge the respect and admiration I have for Carl as a boxer is immense and for Carl the man it's even more, North Belfast Legend.

[@willrobinson915]

Carl up there as one of the best pundits in boxing. Great to see him on TV more & more. Says it how it is and doesn’t have an agenda which is rare nowadays. Quality fighter in his day as well to top it off. Great pod.

[@foggythedrum]

Great boxer. And kept it humble in retirement. Brilliant Analyst. A positive boxing story and champion.

[@Deano_Longley]

Carl came up to Tommy coyles gym here in Hull a couple of years back,a few of us heard about it on the street and went up there,what a lovely fella the guy had all day for all of us answering every question signing the autographs, chatting to us all,he left a mark on me that day ,honesty,integrity,respect the guy had it all.

[@RickTheBoss98]

Sounds like an incredibly gay times

[@jervocoinn7840]

An absolutely gentleman, genuine and a Northern Irish hero.

[@thomasloughlin8526]

From the Newlodge myself mate. Aye have a lot of time for Carl. Probably used to throw stones at each other growing up lol

[@tomshepherd5690]

I could listen to Carl everyday, he is knowledgeable and honest. Chris Eubank senior would be a great guest, just to listen to his story would be awesome

[@cantbelieveimhere2935]

No, he wouldn't. He can't string a coherent sentence together, so it would be two hours of mental ramblings.

[@kieranhudson4938]

With some stupendous confectionaries on the table

[@bigduphusaj162]

Chris Eubank Senior is a clown. Nobody wants to hear his long drawn out tripe. Hes lost the plot and you cannot converse with the guy. He talks in riddles and has NEVER once made any valid point. The fact you think he wouod be a good guest is beyond the pale.

[@user-gi6kk8kv1n]

Haven't we heard all his stories before. Time for the next chapters such as Carl's

[@harryblox760]

Chris Snr wouldn't be a proper conversation, as we've seen in his last few interviews. Nigel Benn would be a good one. His life outside of the boxing ring was pretty insane and to live that life whilst being a professional boxer at the same time is something I'd be keen to hear in depth.

[@davidpearson6785]

Lived in n.ireland for 17 yrs and Carl to me just typical of all Northern Irish lads , good banter and straight talking , nice lad

[@mjs8224]

Loved Carl as a fighter and he's the best pundit out there. Couple this with the GOAT Simon Jordan this did not disappoint. Top work again.

Genuine, honest and down to earth and not to mention a great fighter, also becoming one of the best pundits too.

[@kingchamed]

A great interview. Always rated Carl when I saw him fight for the minor titles on Sky and stayed up for both Santa Cruz fights. Really sad to hear about how much he screwed by his then manager. A top pundit as well.

Simon never asked Billy Joe about his failed drugs test and MTK

To be fair there were actually some nuances in that situation with the failed drugs test.

Started being a proper boxing fan around 2012 olympics and will always say Carl was my first big fighter that I loved. Always watched his fights and loved his style and will always remember him as a great in British boxing.

Should have made that a 2hr chat Simon, a great listen. Wish Carl all the best, he is a decent lad.

[@dazzanic1356]

These are great interviews. The sponsor 'William Hill', have been in the news apparently for not paying out a customer for a while. It's on youtube and is very interesting to watch. They paid out eventually but it did not look good. Also in the daily mail "Moment betting shop staff call police on successful punter because they do not have enough cash to pay his £12,000 winnings"

[@SEANPOL203]

They are basically criminals, it’s shouldn’t be a surprise
