Carl Frampton believes Lewis Crocker, the reigning IBF world welterweight champion, “can dominate the division for a while.”
In a dramatic rematch at Windsor Park in September, Crocker defeated Paddy Donovan by unanimous decision to take the belt.
Frampton claims “the world is his oyster” and that the 28-year-old boxer from Northern Ireland is currently undefeated in 22 fights.
Former two-weight world champion Frampton told Thomas Kane on BBC Sport that “there are big fights on the horizon.”
He is preparing for a voluntary defense, and the top 15 IBF candidates can be anyone.
Lewis can go on and reign supreme in this division for a while because it wasn’t what it was a few years ago.
After winning the world title in front of his own supporters, Crocker had declared he would travel anywhere to fight Conor Benn.
However, Frampton claims that returning to welterweight would be very difficult and Benn has moved up to middleweight to take on Chris Eubank Jr.
Frampton claims that the fight could “put Lewis’ profile completely on a different level” by reaching a weight compromise.
Conor Benn won’t likely fight at welterweight once more, despite the fact that it would generate a lot of money.
However, I would advise taking the fight with both hands if it could be made. There would be a ton of money on the line in the end, and Lewis would have a very winnable fight.
“You need to keep in mind that Lewis is not a small welterweight, so a fight could be made at light middleweight.”
Frampton claims that having the world title makes organizing big fights “a little easier” and anticipates seeing Crocker engage in a future unification fight.
“Lewis can call himself a world champion whatever happens in his career,” he said.
“I’d like to see a few unifications and defenses. He is extremely capable of all of that.
Newcastle won their first Champions League game 4-0 away at Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise on Wednesday thanks to Anthony Gordon’s two penalties.
On a comfortable night for Eddie Howe’s men, Nick Woltemade slotted in Sandro Tonali’s shot to give Newcastle the lead in Brussels before Gordon converted twice from the spot.
Newcastle successfully bounced back from a stinging Premier League defeat suffered by Arsenal on Sunday and from Barcelona’s opening European defeat two weeks prior.
Woltemade and Anthony Elanga, Newcastle’s most expensive summer signings, made their first appearance together with Gordon as they prepared to move past the club’s agonizing transfer from Liverpool to Newcastle.
With a touch on Tonali’s volley to wrong-foot home goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen, Woltemade scored his third goal since joining the Stuttgart club for a club-record $69 million ($92 million) fee to give Newcastle the lead on 17 minutes.

At Anderlecht’s stadium, Union’s temporary home as their own does not adhere to UEFA standards. Shortly before half-time, Elanga scored a penalty after he was clattered by Fedde Leysen, and Gordon tucks it away to double Newcastle’s lead.
Before Union enjoyed their best season, Elanga, a Swedish international, immediately tested Scherpen. Moments after Anan Khalaili steered just wide for the Belgian champions, Nick Pope made a good save from Adem Zorgane and Ousseynou Niang.
After a VAR review of a handball by Kamiel Van de Perre, Newcastle were given a second penalty, and Gordon delivered a second-half clinical spot kick just in time.
As anti-government demonstrations grew on Tuesday in Morocco, police vehicles were filmed ramming into protesters. Police allegedly attempted to disperse “violent and unauthorised crowds” according to officials.
