Having just signed a promotional contract with Top Rank Boxing, former world featherweight champion Carl Frampton (26-2, 15 KOs) was hoping to win his tune-up match vs. Emmanuel Dominguez (26-8-2, 18 KOs) and land himself a big money title bout later in the year. Unfortunately, he won’t be competing on Saturday after an awful case of “wrong place, wrong time.”
First reported by John Evans, Frampton was injured when an object fell on his hand at a Philadelphia hotel, breaking multiple bones in his hand. According to Frampton himself, it was a large concrete ornament. Seriously.
