arl Frampton says he thrives on the pressure to perform as he defends his Commonwealth Super-Bantamweight title against Kris Hughes at a sold-out York Hall, Bethnal Green tomorrow night (January 28) live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1 from 9pm.

 

The 24 year-old Belfast boy is aiming to extend his unbeaten record to 12 fights as he tackles the Scotsman - also 24 - who is fighting for the title for the second time having lost to Jamie Arthur in October 2010.

 

That remains Hughes' only defeat in 16 pro contests and the Bellshill man has promised Frampton a tough night. 'The Jackal' is thrilled that the show is a sell-out and says he is happy to be under pressure to impress in east London.

"It's a big opportunity to impress in front of a sold-out crowd at the start of my break through year and I think that 2013 I'll be one of the best in the World," said Frampton.

 

"There is pressure on me but I really don't feel it. People like Barry are raving about me but that's a good thing and I think I perform better when the pressure is on and I'm under the spotlight. My feet are firmly on the ground though so that's not a problem.

 

"Boxing away from home at the top of the bill is a great chance to learn how to deal with different atmospheres."
