There was a bit of tension before Saturday night's fight.

Carl Frampton and Shane McGuigan had a difficult exchange on Tuesday when the pair met at the Fight Camp setup in Brentwood, Essex.

The Matchroom headquarters is being used as a location for a series of fights to be shown DAZN, after 2020 saw the venue used by Eddie Hearn to stage a string of events last summer under coronavirus restrictions.

Frampton and McGuigan’s father, Barry, had settled a court case in 2020 over Barry’s management of his career.

Frampton will be part of the coaching team for Tommy McCarthy in his fight on Saturday with Chris Billam-Smith.

In a video of the encounter, Shane McGuigan calls Frampton, ‘such a child’ for ‘going all the way over here’ - meaning to travel to Essex for the event.

Frampton defended himself by saying he was attending to ‘be in his mate’s corner,’ before McGuigan calls him a ‘fool’.
