Carl Frampton: Creating More Than Just A Legacy

32 minutes

At present only 7% of Northern Ireland’s schools are religiously integrated. Carl Frampton is not content with changing the history of Irish boxing. The next part of his life is focused on helping others and Northern Ireland become a better place to live in for future generations. This week he sat down with Jarlath to talk about how he soared to the highest heights in the ring, how he almost quit at 21 years old and why boxing continues to be dogged by corruption. Carl Frampton has always had one eye on the bigger picture and in this candid interview he opens up about what has changed in Northern Ireland in the last two years and he has completely changed his mind about ever leaving.
