Former world boxing champion facing action for alleged breach of contract

Former world boxing champion Carl Frampton’s legal battle with ex-manager Barry McGuigan centres on alleged earnings in excess of £4 million , the High Court heard today.

Mr Frampton is suing Barry McGuigan, his wife Sandra McGuigan and Cyclone Promotions Ltd. The Belfast fighter claims purse money and other earnings due to him from his bouts were withheld. His writs form the basis of a counter-suit to separate proceedings brought against him in London by the McGuigan family-run Cyclone Promotions.

His lawsuit refers to contracts for fights in Northern Ireland, England and the United States. It involves claims against the now dissolved Cyclone Promotions UK Ltd – of which Mr and Mrs McGuigan were directors – over purse fees, broadcasting rights, ticket sales and merchandising from Mr Frampton’s second world title bout against Leo Santa Cruz in Las Vegas in January 2017.
