Carl Frampton (23-1, 14 KOs) vs. Andres Gutierrez (35-1-1, 25 KOs) fight has been canceled due to an accident the 24-year-old Gutierrez suffered. The fight was supposed to have been a WBC featherweight title eliminator on Saturday night at the SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Frampton had already failed to make weight for the fight in coming in over the 126lb limit during Friday’s weigh-in. Frampton weighed in at 127lbs.
It’s unclear whether Frampton and Gutierrez will reschedule their fight.
Frampton is interested in fighting IBF featherweight champion Lee Selby. It didn’t matter if Frampton had made weight for the Gutierrez fight. The Frampton-Selby fight is expected to take place in late 2017. Frampton will have a good chance of beating Selby unless he gets old overnight.
If Frampton can no longer make weight for the featherweight division, then he’s got some tough decisions to make about his boxing career. The super featherweight division is loaded with talent from top to bottom.
