Frampton’s fight-night shorts and training apparel will don 32Red’s logo, which could be seen in a post-fight interview on Saturday, Nov. 18th after the 30-year-old beat Mexico’s Horacio Garcia in an exciting non-title affair at Belfast’s SSE Arena. Also part of the agreement, regular content will be provided by Frampton to social channels and the 32Red blog.
Commenting on the endorsement deal, the featherweight said, “I’m excited to be sharing the next stage of my career with 32Red, a brand who have a long history of supporting top quality sport and boxing in particular,” according to the 32Red blog. Frampton went on to say to he is looking forward to working with 32Red at what is a great time for him especially and boxing.
