CARL Frampton insists he would “love” a showdown with IBF world featherweight champion Lee Selby.

A meeting between the two has been mooted for some time, with Barry’s Selby voicing his desire to face the Northern Irishman on several occasions.

Speaking in front of Selby at the Cyclone Promotions show in Cardiff, Frampton said Windsor Park in Belfast is his preferred venue if he and the Barry boxer were to clash.

The 30-year-old, a former two-weight world champion, also understands that his management team and Selby’s representatives are currently in talks over a possible fight.

“I’m happy to fight anyone, I think Lee knows that as well,” he said.

“I would love the fight (with Selby).

“I think the Sanigars and McGuigans are talking at the minute.

“I stay in the background, like Lee stays in the background, but I’m happy for that fight.”

He added: “Windsor Park is my preferred venue of choice, I’d like to fight at home in the summer.

“My last four fights have been away from home.

“My supporters travel and they spend a lot of money to come out and support me.

“My next fight has to be at home no matter who it is.”

Frampton’s last bout in his home country was back in February 2015, since when he has travelled to El Paso in Texas, Manchester, Brooklyn and Las Vegas.

Selby’s choice would be the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, though with the Welshman due to meet mandatory challenger Jonathan Barros first, a summer battle against Frampton isn’t likely.

Barry’s Selby, also 30, hasn’t defended his belt since last April – he did beat Spaniard Andoni Gago in March bit that was a non-title bout.

On his lack of activity, he said: “I’m missing out on all those big fights.

“You hear a lot of the champions mentioning fighting me, but when my manager picks up the phone and makes the call it seems to go quiet.

“Mr Frampton said he’d like a big domestic fight.”
