Carl Frampton will put his body and soul on the line on Saturday night as he tries to keep his World title dream on track at the Odyssey Arena.
Frampton – unbeaten in his 14 professional fights to date – puts his Commonwealth and IBF Inter-Continental belts on the line against Steve Molitor.
The Canadian is a former two-time World Champion and he will be a league above any of ‘The Jackal’s’ previous opponents.
But Frampton says come midnight on Saturday his World title dream will be a step closer.
“It’s building and building towards the dream I have had since I was seven or eight years old – to be a World champion.
“And I am within touching distance of that dream.”
Frampton added: “I have been in this game a long time. I started boxing when I was seven and this is what I have always wanted to be. And I am realistically only a couple of fights away from that. It is a good feeling and I aim to stay on this journey.
“But this is make or break fight for the two of us. He is a good fighter – but this is a risk worth taking.
“I don’t want to be a guy who pads his record out to 25 to 30 fights and fighting guys who are not very good.
“I don’t want that. I want take the big fights and go out on my sword if need be.
“I want people to see that I took on hard fights and got on with the job in hand. I am confident I can beat Molitor at the Odyssey,” he added.
