FOR many he is Ireland's best boxer, but Carl Frampton is not so sure.
Yes, he's Northern Ireland's only two-weight world champion and the finest fighter to come from the Province.

His bid against Jamel Herring at super-featherweight ended in defeat in 2021 and Frampton retired immediately afterwards.
The Belfast fighter is content to leave that debate to others and is happy just to be considered.
"I'm very happy with my career, a two-weight world champion, the only one from Northern Ireland," he told Starsport.
"One of three from Ireland to do that myself, Steve Collins and Katie Taylor. I tried for a third weight, it didn't work out, but that doesn't bother me any more.
