Britain's Carl Frampton celebrates after defeating Spain's Kiko Martinez
London - Arab Today
Northern Ireland's Carl Frampton will face Leo Santa Cruz in New York later this year to fight for the Mexican's WBA featherweight title.
Frampton, 29, added the WBA super bantamweight title to his own IBF belt by beating Scott Quigg in February, but will move up a division to face Santa Cruz.
"The Jackal vs @leosantacruz2 for the WBA featherweight title in the big apple late summer! #AndTheNew #TwoWeightWorldChamp" Frampton tweeted.
Frampton, who has a 22-0 career record, is aiming to become the first Northern Ireland boxer to win world titles at different weights.
Promoter Barry McGuigan said a date will be announced next week.
