The Belfast Boxer has released a statement.

CARL FRAMPTON WILL launch a countersuit following the news that Cyclone Promotions and Blain McGuigan have lodged proceedings against their former client, the boxer’s solicitor has confirmed.

A statement released by John Finucane says that Frampton is ‘deeply disappointed that Cyclone Promotions have decided to initiate legal action against him,’ and says that the Belfast boxer will ‘defend his action rigorously.’

The statement in full reads:

Frampton parted ways with manager Barry McGuigan and Cyclone Promotions in August of this year.

He also drafted in Jamie Moore as his new trainer to replace his former mentor Shane McGuigan.
