Unbeaten Belfast super bantamweight Carl Frampton will finally meet Kiko Martinez at the Odyssey Arena on Saturday, February 9.

Martinez has twice pulled out of a proposed fight with Frampton but has put pen to paper on an agreement to face 'The Jackal' in a defence of his European title.

Frampton has admitted that he is relieved to finally get the chance to test his skills against the experienced Spaniard.

He said: "He's pulled out on me twice so I have a score to settle with him there.

"It's a great fight for the fans and one that I have craved for a long time.

"I had too much for Steve Molitor and he was a step up, so I am confident I can beat Kiko and do so in style."

Frampton is in the mix with Scott Quigg and Kid Galahad in an exciting super bantamweight division at domestic level.
