Carl Frampton says he has had an excellent training camp in London

Carl Frampton believes training in London will provide the platform to beat super-bantamweight rival Scott Quigg.

The Belfast-based IBF world champion has moved camp to the capital ahead of the massive unification fight with his rival in Manchester on February 27, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Frampton (21-0-KO14) admits the anonymity of life in London has let him focus totally on the showdown and he is already counting down the days ahead of the Quigg (31-0-2-KO23) clash.

At this stage everything is good and positive and I'm starting to get the itch. I want to go now

"We're approaching four weeks to go and for the last three weeks I've been sparring 10 rounds, which I'm not usually doing so far out, so my fitness is very good," he told Sky Sports News HQ.

"I've brought my weight down and held it down a bit further out - and at a weight that I feel best at. 

"At this stage everything is good and positive and I'm starting to get the itch. I want to go now."

Leo Santa Cruz fights Kiko Martinez on the same night as Quigg v Frampton and he says he wants to face the winner.

"People think he's the best fighter in the UK, some think he's the best in the world at super-bantamweight, which is crazy in my eyes," he said.

"I just want to prove I know I can beat this guy. Him on his best day and me on my best day? I doubt think there's any competition."
