This is Five Live Boxing.

So in Liverpool, they were getting ready for a fight.

I'm Carl Frampton. I'm here with Steve Bunce, who sounds like John Fure.

Absolutely no idea why, but this is

five-lave boxing. Enjoy. Yeah, something happened to my voice. If you're watching on TV last night,

you would have seen me struggling to talk to people. Frank Warren making out he couldn't hear a

single thing I said, which was either intention or unintention, or either way, I guess it was hilarious. Nick Bull smirking at me and

various other people thinking I was perhaps pulling their leg. Well, I'm not pulling their leg.

I went to bed perfectly, okay, had nine hours, Kip, woke up on Saturday morning, and my voice

was gone. Okay, so I'm not ill, I'm not sick,

I've just lost my voice. I'm in fine spirits. Okay, it is a bit tough, I'm not going to lie.

But we'll crack on through. Carl, first of all, Nick Ball, T.J. Doheny for the WBA

Feverweight title was one of about three or four fights that was on the bill.

I think we all knew that it was going to be a hard, ugly fight. I guess we did. In the end, after 10 rounds and it was a bit brutal, there were points deductions. Maybe there should have been more points deductions. At the end, Ball retained his title and moved closer to, well, a potential

golden showdown in December, in Saudi, against Neo-I-Nui. That's the fight that everybody's

talking about. Hey-ho, it's a nice dream, and it could definitely happen. And Carl, I know you've got some strong views on that fight.

But just give us, just give me a sense because I want to rest for a couple of minutes
