What did the fighters say?

Josh Warrington: "Nobody gave me a chance against Lee Selby, but we knew we would get the win.

"Me and my team have prepared for the very best Carl Frampton. I would be a mug if I didn't. I just hope when my hand gets raised again that there are no excuses.

"When Carl lost his world title in Las Vegas, I saw the build-up and the fans in the bars and pubs. And I want part of that and it is within touching distance."

Carl Frampton: "I believe I am better. I was beating guys like Leo Santa Cruz and Scott Quigg when I was hating boxing.

"Now I look forward to the gym and putting maximum effort in my sessions. I believe Josh is a very good fighter, but I belive on my day, I am the best featherweight on the planet.

"I think that no matter what Josh and his team say, they think I am over the hill. I am prepared for it and they will see I am not over the hill."
