One day before this accident, Frampton also tweeted a video of himself where he was running on a treadmill with the caption, “Last Hard Session”. He also added to the statement, “It is fight week now. Training is done and now time to focus on the fight.”
This injury has marked another setback for Frampton on his way to becoming a world champion.
Back in December, he had considered about retiring from boxing following his defeat at hands of Josh Warrington but then he started preparation for a fight with Emmanuel Dominguez this summer.
Frampton, who had been the featherweight and Super-bantamweight world champion, had signed a deal in March with the US promoters named Top Rank.
