Carl Frampton is expecting a knockout finish when Joe Joyce and Filip Hrgovic clash in a heavyweight contest tonight at Manchester's Co-op Live.
Joyce and Hrgovic main event the first show of Frank Warren and Queensberry's broadcast deal with DAZN in what is a career crossroads fight for both men.

Win, and a career in boxing is extended for a little while longer. Lose, and it could be the end of the road.
Speaking to DAZN News, former two-weight world champion Frampton is expecting a tough night for Joyce, but he is backing the former Team GB fighter's fitness to carry him through.
"It won’t go the distance," Frampton said.
"If Joe wins, he will do it late in the second half, if Hrgovic wins, he’ll probably do it in the first half.
"Hrgovic is a really good combination puncher, I don’t know if he’s the biggest punching heavyweight in the world, but all the big guys can punch.
"As long as Joe doesn’t get hit too clean, too often, I think he may win down the stretch, but it’s going to be a difficult night for him."
Joyce vs Hrgovic headlines an exciting card at the Co-op Live which also sees David Adelye and Jeamie Tshikeva clash for the vacant British heavyweight title, and Delicious Orie's professional debut.
