Belfast boy Carl Frampton will fight in a stadium for the first time when he walks out last at Windsor Park, taking on big-talking featherweight Luke Jackson, but he will do so after Fury’s latest fight.
The former heavyweight champion is fighting for the second time since his two-and-a-half-year hiatus from the sport due to self-confessed problems with depression and cocaine use.
And while this bout is expected to be little more than a formality, his next fight represents a significant step-up in quality.
WBC champion Deontay Wilder is in Belfast for the fight and Express Sport understands he will get in the ring with Fury after the contest to announce formally their heavyweight showdown in Las Vegas on November 17.
The two men have already clashed during and after Friday’s weigh-in, suggesting there will be no shortage of trash talk when they meet again on Saturday night.
The main event though will see Frampton fulfil a lifelong dream in front of 24,000 fans at Northern Ireland’s home football stadium.
Victory over Jackson, who is a huge underdog, will set up another world title shot for the 31-year-old either against WBO holder Oscar Valdez or newly-crowned IBF champion Josh Warrington.
