“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.

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.

Are you joking ? Sold his soul and helped launder drug money. Said himself in court MTK management fee was zero..!
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.
Says it how it is. Not a company man and a gentleman into the bargain from a celtic fan. All the best lad.
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.
Great boxer. And kept it humble in retirement. Brilliant Analyst. A positive boxing story and champion.

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.

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.

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.
Genuine, honest and down to earth and not to mention a great fighter, also becoming one of the best pundits too.
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.
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
Fair play to the lad he made Gods own wee country proud and countinunes to represent us well im retirement. From a Nationalist like myself from South Armagh to the Jackal from Tigers Bay respect

What a humble and honest fighter. What a great
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.

Great interview guys , says it all about him at the end. "Someone who is sound and could fight a bit" , yes to both. Proper lad.
Cracking wee fella !.. not a big headed narcissist like all boxers ...very level headed and humble....from the irish side of Belfast iam a big fan !
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.

A legacy of honesty!!
Great interview 👍🏼
Great interview. It's fascinating to listen to Carl's insight and stories. He speaks incredibly well, and proud.
Great interview, enjoyed that....👏
Great episode, Carl is a great listen, intelligent and straight talking.
Great interview. Brilliant wee guy very genuine boy .
These interviews are constantly top tier. Love Carl as a fighter, gent too.
Carl frampton, Carl Froch Both great pundits after stella careers real glad still involved in boxing 👏
Another great interview.
Frampton a top class guy. I meet him and interviewed him for the mulligan brothers channel when he was boxing with Jamie Moore. Couldn't of interviewed a nicer guy.
Great guy, humble honest gentleman…. And one hell of a boxer.. done our whole county proud mate..
Really good interview, Carl seems a great bloke. Cheers boys.
Great episode lads 👌
I havent particulary been a fan of Simon, but I stand corrected. This is a really good interview!
Brilliant show not missed a show great interviewing by Simon.
I love Frampton .... Admirable and honest. And a super fighter .
Belfast hero for both sides of our community,s.well done carl
My opinion is his legacy is… he never ducked anyone he was a great champion and probably one of my favourite fighters. Love this podcast I wanna see Eddie Hearn on this that will break the internet
A likeable lad. Hopefully he will get into coaching. Especially life coaching, great life experience
Carl is a great ambassador for the Belfast working class had some good fights.
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"

Carl is a great guy, excellent boxer, there aren't many people who have the success he has had and are still that humble 👊🏻
That frampton Vs warrington was one of the best fights iv seen forehead to forehead all out war
It was a fantastic interview and Carl is such an intelligent and articulate man - a great fighter, an excellent pundit and I have total respect for him.
Carl is a lovely, genuine and humble lad and a great ambassador for Northern Ireland
He’s a literal living legend here, and just one of the lads
The 'Jackel' 👊
Should have made that a 2hr chat Simon, a great listen. Wish Carl all the best, he is a decent lad.
Enjoyed that. 👍🏻
Great watch as always 😎
Honest and engaging. Big props to Carl for speaking his mind.
No other major sport has this. he's right. You dont' see Sunday League footballers earning as much as Premier league players. It wouldn't be right that rank amateurs earn as much as professionals.
Carls story about Scott quigg was very funny with the Intelligence reference “what do you mean”? Haha! Respect to Scott as well. Enjoyed Your Career Carl.
Absolutely class podcast Frampton is a legend and SJ as well 🥊
Carl spoke very well here! Brilliant podcast this one! 🎉
Great fighter great pundit great fella one of Ireland’s greatest what a guy cotj
Boxing needs to make the big fights people want to see!
He’s brilliant to listen to.
Genuinely nice working class guy who made it. Respect to the jackal.
Barry just didn’t do it on Carl. He done it on another fighter who spoke on a podcast about them. Carl hold your head up…
Where are the sections to help navigate to the bit you're intetested in?
Northern Ireland legend !!!@ up there with best sportsmen from our wee country
Carl is a great man enjoy his boxing g interviews
One of the best modern boxing pundits and a great boxer too.

The book is filled with lies unfortunately. Any man that signs for Daniel Kinihan may be still a legend up North but sadly he tarnished his reputation on this island the day he did that. There's no excuse to align yourself with a drug dealer responsible for so many crimes
What a fighter. What a man. If I can be 50% of him, I’d be happy.

Usyk is very, very good at fighting long, also fighting long opponents because he moves with the shots so it seems to add length and with Fury being more planted these days and trying to cut the ring off I think Usyk with be able to outbox him. He’s not going to be planted on the outside and just eat jabs like almost everyone of his past opponents. Fury’s never fought someone like Usyk but Usyk has dealt with people like Fury. Also Furys body shots are below an amateur level, watch the back hand, lead hand at the waist body shots he hit Whyte with and tell me that, that’s a competent body puncher.
