Frampton outpointed Santa Cruz last July in New York in what was his first fight at featherweight having stepped up from super-bantamweight following a unification victory over long-time rival Scott Quigg.

Fans from Northern Ireland have been flocking to America's boxing capital this week to show their support for their compatriot and have been given an insight into his preparations.

"It's going to be good, the atmosphere is already good and I am excited for everyone to get in," Frampton said.
