Carl Frampton's next move uncertain after world title success

Carl Frampton's manager Barry McGuigan says his fighter's next move is uncertain following his bruising IBF world super-bantamweight title win over Kiko Martinez in Belfast on Saturday night.

A title defence against IBF mandatory challenger Chris Avalos appeared to be the most likely option, but McGuigan insists Frampton's health "will determine what the next steps are".

After securing the belt in front of 16,000 fans at a purpose-built arena at Titanic Quarter, Frampton indicated a preference for taking on WBA champion Scott Quigg in his next contest.
