Carl Frampton MBE (born 21 February 1987) is a Northern Irish former professional boxer who competed from 2009 to 2021. He held world championships in two weight classes, including the IBF super bantamweight title from 2014 to 2016, the Super version of the WBA super bantamweight title in 2016, and the Super version of the WBA (Super) featherweight title from 2016 to 2017.
By winning the featherweight world title in 2016, Frampton became the first boxer from Northern Ireland to have held world titles in two weight classes. This earned him Fighter of the Year awards from The Ring magazine, the Boxing Writers Association of America, and ESPN.
Frampton retired from boxing after losing in his WBO junior-lightweight title fight against Jamel Herring.
