Saturday night marks another date with destiny for Belfast's undefeated two-weight world champion Carl Frampton.

The 29-year-old Tiger's Bay sensation will walk out in front of over 4,000 travelling Irish fans at Las Vegas' MGM Grand, where he'll once more trade leather with 'El Terremoto' Leo Santa Cruz, from Frampton stripped his new world strap in New York last July after the pair's Fight Of The Year.

Having picked up boxing's most prestigious annual award last week when he was named THE RING Magazine's Fighter Of The Year, Frampton will be looking to pick up where he left off on Saturday night.

Thankfully for the casual viewer, the feverishly anticipated clash will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, and the lads at Sky - fast mastering the art of the boxing montage - have produced a wonderful promo which focuses on both fighters' mentors before, during and after the fight.

The previously unseen footage sees Barry McGuigan throw every shot with his man before shedding a tear at the victorious verdict, while Santa Cruz's father and trainer - a cancer survivor - is class personified as he congratulates Frampton for his razor-tight decision victory.

It also features a lovely hug between Barry McGuigan and Rory McIlroy at ringside.
