CARL FRAMPTON

"This camp has been even better than the last one. I had a few problems with my hand during the last training camp but this camp has been brilliant. I've been able to put a lot of effort into every session.

"I got drawn in to Leo's type of fight last time, which made it very exciting. Because of our styles, it's always going to be a good fight. If it's two wins to nil for me, I'd rather move on and fight someone like Lee Selby. I just want to be involved in big fights.

"Obviously, being from where I'm from, fighting in New York was a major appeal, and a lot of guys on the East Coast are attracted to an Irish fighter they haven't seen before. So I got a lot of new support from the East Coast. We brought a lot of people across with us, as well. But now, to be fighting, topping the bill at the MGM in the fight capital of the world, it's something I never really thought about when I was a kid or when I turned professional. I never really believed I could get to this. But it's here, and I'm hoping that it can continue for a long time.

"We're staying at Robert Guerrero's training camp house, which is a big thing for me in itself. We drove past the MGM Grand and saw my face on the side. That was pretty surreal in itself. I just can't wait to soak it up.

"This was a big fight enough in New York, now I think it's going to be like New York on steroids. I can't wait to soak up the atmosphere on fight week, can't wait for all of my fans to get here, I think it's going to be a real carnival atmosphere and people are going to enjoy it."

"Fighting Leo Santa Cruz in the United States, a 3-weight world champion who a lot of people thought was going to beat me and beat me comfortably, that was a big deal. That was the real turning point of my career. And I think there's more to come. I'm 30 in February, but I don't feel any signs of slowing up.

"We've got a chef in the house that we're staying at, cooking and preparing our food. We're training at Shawn Porter's gym here. It's a great facility and they're looking after us, Shawn and (Kenny) Porter. It's nothing really to deal with apart from the time difference. I reckon it takes a day for every hour of time difference."
