Carl Frampton to face Kiko Martinez again

Northern Irishman saw off Spaniard with a ninth-round stoppage in September last year

Carl Frampton will rematch with Kiko Martinez in September with the IBF super-bantamweight title on the line.

Frampton earned the shot by winning a title eliminator with Hugo Cazares in April — his 18th win from as many career fights.
