“He has a date in August and I will be ready. I have boxed there before and it will be another packed out arena. I would relish that challenge.”
And Warrington also insists he would love to take on former two-weight world champion Frampton.
“When I win we can take the boys and girls on an away day to Belfast,” he said.

“I take one fight at a time. It is nice to have an idea of where my career can go.
“It would be a big fight against Carl, but I want to get through this (Selby fight) first and then potentially I can fight Carl in the future.
“But all my focus is on Saturday night, and it doesn’t matter how many champions are sitting ringside. I won’t be distracted.”
