Frampton retires after losing to Herring

(UTV | COLOMBO) – Carl Frampton announced his retirement in the ring after being stopped by Jamel Herring in the 6th round of their World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Super-Featherweight contest.

The Belfast man was bidding to become Ireland’s first 3-weight World Champion.

Herring dropped Frampton, 34, a round earlier before another left uppercut in the 6th sent Frampton to the canvas.

Amid a flurry of shots and little defence, Frampton’s corner threw in the towel.
