Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren has warned WBO featherweight Champion Carl Frampton that WBO #5 featherweight Luke Jackson is one of the best in the division ahead of there bout on August 18 at Windsor Park in Belfast, Ireland.

“He is obviously a competitive guy, he has fought around the world and is an undefeated fighter. We have seen a few upsets over the last year, some serious upsets and he thinks he is coming here to be another one. He fancies the job, his team fancy the job and we will see on the night,” Warren told IFL TV.

“We can’t afford any slip-ups. The important from Carl’s perspective is he can’t afford to fall over on this one. He has to win this one so we can make him and Josh Warrington.

“There was a lot of guys unavailable and obviously to defend his title he has to fight someone out of the top 10 in the WBO. Luke Jackson was ranked 5 and he was available and I think he is one of the best guys in that division. I didn’t notice till after we made the fight and I looked at his amateur record, he’d won a Commonwealth bronze medal in his third year of boxing.”
