Carl Frampton confident ahead of rematch with Leo Santa Cruz

WBA featherweight champion Carl Frampton says his 'good boxing brain' will help him beat Leo Santa Cruz for a second time in their rematch in January.

Northern Irishman Frampton, 29, beat Mexican Santa Cruz on a points decision in a thrilling bout in July to become the first Irish fighter to win world titles at two weights.

Frampton, who watched his friend Paddy Barnes make his professional debut at the Titanic Exhibition Centre in Belfast on Saturday night, said his 'good boxing brain' will be key to victory in Las Vegas on 28 January.
