Making weight is the primary concern for most boxers heading into fight night.

Carl Frampton hopes to just make it to the scale this time around.

The former two-division titlist fights for the first time in 2019, as he faces unbeaten Tyler McCreary this Saturday, live on ESPN+ from The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout comes roughly three months after his previously planned ring appearance, only for a freak fight week accident scrapping plans for his bout with Mexico’s Emmanuel Dominguez this past August in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“I will not be going near any objects,” Frampton (26-2, 15KOs) joked with BoxingScene.com of the past incident. “It was just one of those things, you can’t really plan for it.”

Frampton’s scheduled ESPN+ headliner in Philadelphia was canceled days before the fight. scheduled bout with Mexico’s Emmanuel Dominguez was canceled during fight week, after a hotel lobby concrete pillar fell on a Frampton’s hand following a light workout. The out-of-the-blue occurrence left him with a fractured fifth metacarpal bone and a cut to his left hand.

Needless to say, it was among the more bizarre circumstances under which a fight was canceled.

“Honestly, if it didn’t happen to me, I’d have called bullshit if someone told me that story,” admits Frampton, a former champ at junior featherweight and featherweight from Belfast, Northern Ireland who is angling for a win on Saturday to lead to a title shot at 130 pounds. “I’d have loved to get the odds from a bookie on something like that happening.”

Interestingly, Frampton was on the other end of a fight hitting the scrap heap for all the wrong reasons. His first bout following a Jan. 2017 rematch loss to Leo Santa Cruz—the first defeat of his career, and also the last time he entered or left the ring with a major title around his waist—was due to take place in a July 2017 homecoming bout in Belfast, only for his opponent, Mexico’s Andres Gutierrez suffering a concussion and facial cuts after a slip and fall in the shower after their official weigh-in.

On the bright side, the wildly popular boxer has made it further along during this fight week than was the case three months ago in Philadelphia. The weigh-in is Friday, although making the catchweight of 128 pounds should be of little concern to the 32-year old, who has never weighed heavier than 127 pounds for any given fight over the course of his stellar 10-plus year career.

Making it to the weigh-in, however, will proceed with the utmost caution.

“There’s really not a lot you can do,” quips Frampton.
