Published by Shawn C.

Same date, new time. The desert duel between WBO
junior lightweight world champion* Jamel “Semper Fi” Herring* and former
two-weight world ruler *Carl “The Jackal” Frampton* —Saturday, April 3 from
Caesars Bluewaters Dubai — will stream live and exclusively in the United
States on ESPN+ at a new start time of 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT.

The main event stream will begin with an intriguing co-feature, as
undefeated Kazakh star *Zhankosh Turarov *(24-0, 17 KOs) will defend his
WBO Intercontinental junior welterweight strap against Belfast native *Tyrone
McKenna* (21-2-1, 6 KOs).

The undercard, including the return of former four-weight world
champion *Donnie
Nietes, *will now stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m.
PT.

Belfast’s Frampton (28-2, 16 KOs), the 2016 Fighter of the Year, hopes to
become the island of Ireland’s first three-weight world champion. Herring
(22-2, 10 KOs), a U.S. Marine veteran and 2012 Olympian, has made two
defenses of the title he won in a shocking upset over Masayuki Ito nearly
two years ago.
