Carl Frampton is hungry to get revenge after losing his WBA featherweight title fight a week ago, when he dropped a twelve round majority decision in his rematch with Leo Santa Cruz at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

But he said he is determined to win back his world title and have his next fight in Belfast.

In the first fight, which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn last July, Frampton won a twelve round majority decision.

He said: "I tried to watch the fight with Leo Santa Cruz again but only got two round in when I had to turn it off, it was too raw for me - it was just too annoying. I'll let things settle down before I watch the whole fight...I don't know when I'll be able to watch it all again.

"My team are now working on the third fight, they're in negotiations and whatever happens my next fight will be in Belfast. I've been on the road for a long time and my fans, many who can't afford to travel, deserve the chance to see me fight at home.

"Leo Santa Cruz is a great guy, the two of us have shown each other respect in two great fights but I feel he will lose some respect if he doesn't honour his word and fight me in Belfast this summer.

"I've fought Leo twice now in the States. New York for the first fight was a neutral venue but Las Vegas was not a neutral venue, you can drive from Los Angeles to it and he had plenty of Mexican support. That's what champions do sometimes, they travel so no it's Leo's turn to travel.

"I hope he keeps his word but the early noises suggest he won't be coming and that he wants to have a fight before we meet again. We are looked after by the same American adviser, Al Haymon, so I hope that a deal can be struck for the fight to happen at Windsor Park - what a stage to get the belt back."
