Carl Frampton to fight Kiko Martínez for IBF super-bantamweight title

*  Rematch of bout won by Northern Irishman in 2013
*  Fight set for Belfast on 6 September

Carl Frampton will fight a rematch with Kiko Martínez in Belfast on 6 September with the IBF super-bantamweight title on the line.

The Northern Irishman saw off Martínez with a ninth-round stoppage in September last year to take the European crown. Martínez has since recovered to win the world belt and will now defend it for a third time.

Frampton earned the shot by winning a title eliminator with Hugo Cázares in April - his 18th win from as many fights.
