Carl Frampton vs Jamel Herring: Here's what the Jackal would have been if he wasn't a boxer

Ever wondered what Carl Frampton would be if he wasn't a boxer?

The Jackal has previously spoken about how he could have become an electrician, but admitted he was the "worst guy in the world" when it comes to fixing things in the house.

In the video below, taken from 2016, Frampton - who takes on Jamel Herring on April 3 - answers a question from fan @billychalk98 during a Sky Sports Q&A who asked what other profession he'd fancy.

And for Crusaders fan Frampton, his other career would probably have been a footballer.

He said: "I don't know, I've been doing it for so long. I started boxing when I was seven, I've never really had another job.

"I'd like to think I was half decent at football and maybe I'd have been able to play in the Irish League, who knows.

"When I was a kid I was half decent and I'd to obviously pick one or the other and I was better at boxing so I went that route.

"I was like Denis Wise centre midfield. Nippy, liked to stick the boot in. Aggressive - a bit of a mouth.

"I'd have loved to have played for Crusaders," he added.
