Irish-Boxing.com states that Frampton will face WBO #5 Luke Jackson, but Frampton will make an official announcement on Wednesday. “The Jackal” (25-1, 14 KO) says that Lee Selby losing to Josh Warrington “threw a spanner in the works because Selby would have taken the fight.”
Jackson (16-0, 7 KO) has spent his entire career fighting subpar opposition in his native Australia. He’s already 33, so no surprise he’d jump on a chance to fight for a title without having to go through a risky and time-consuming contendership process.
Fury (26-0, 19 KO) “fought” Sefer Seferi this past weekend, a farce that lasted four rounds before Seferi quit for no immediately apparent reason. The quick turnaround makes sense; the guy needs to be in the ring as often as possible to mitigate his self-destructive tendencies. I doubt they can wrangle a competent heavyweight on two months’ notice, though.
