    Just a reminder, this is a 10-round, non-title contest. But a win for either fighter will take them in contention for a world title.

    Boxing promoter Frank Warren is warning Carl Frampton not to take his eye off the ball, before their first fight together.

    So what do we know of Frampton's opponent, Horacio Garcia?

    Well, he is a hard-hitting 27-year-old Mexican with a great deal of experience - 37 fights no less, a total that is 13 more than Frampton.

    Garcia, who has never got to world title level and has never previously fought in Europe, has won 33 of 37 fights, with 24 of those victories coming inside the distance.

    Now this is a bit terrifying.

    In the summer, back when Frampton was with the Barry and Shane McGuigan camp, he took part in a BBC Tester project where you could get a virtual look at what it is like to fight Carl Frampton (without the pain, of course).

    Click on the link here and you can see what it is like to fight against a former two-weight world champion. Sort of.

    Andrew Priestley: Jamie Conlan was absolutely out-boxed and out-classed by a far superior champion fighter in Ancajas. Conlan wasn’t ready for a boxer of his quality, but he showed incredible bravery in constantly getting back to his feet.

    Jerwin Ancajas beats Jamie Conlan in the sixth round

    Just before the referee stopped it, Tony Bellew tweeted this. When a warrior such as Bellew calls someone "one of the bravest men I've ever seen" then you know it has been an incredibly gutsy performance.

    This guy (Jerwin Ancajas) is definitely the best of the world champions in this division.

    Breaking

    He was knocked down four times in six rounds, was badly cut in the second round and finally Jamie Conlan's misery is finished.

    It was a right hook to the side or back of Conlan's head. He hauled himself up on to his feet but the referee has seen enough and stops it.
