Carl Frampton fought at some iconic venues during his boxing career, but there is one dream stadium he missed out on.
The former two-weight world champion fought in front of thousands of fans at Windsor Park and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
He also won the WBA World featherweight title at New York's famous Barclays Center when he beat Leo Santa Cruz in the first of their two fights.

But for mad football fan Frampton, fighting at the home of his beloved Crusaders was a dream he never got to realise.
Frampton - who is also a massive Rangers fan - told William Hill’s Stripped Podcast : "I'd loved to have fought at Seaview. It's obviously smaller than Ibrox, you wouldn't get many in.
"There was actually talk of me fighting at Crusaders before. I think you'd probably get about 4,000 into the stadium, but then with the pitch you could put maybe another 4,000. So 8,000.
"But the Odyssey Arena, where I fought, held 9,000 people. And it is way more expensive to do an outside broadcast so promoters don't want to do it.
"But there was a genuine discussion about me fighting there, but it never happened.
"Maybe there were fights there years ago, but I would probably have been the first."
