Lee Selby's manager Chris Sanigar says they would love a fight against Carl Frampton.

IBF world featherweight champion Lee Selby has WBA Super champion Carl Frampton top of his wish-list but may yet face Josh Warrington.

'The Welsh Mayweather' has made two defences of the crown he won by stopping Evgeny Gradovic in May 2015; outpointing Fernando Montiel on his US debut and then returning to The O2 to clamber off the canvas and outpoint Eric Hunter. 

A planned clash with Warrington (24-0-KO5) fell through due to the Leeds fighter's wedding plans but while Sanigar has his sights set firmly on Northern Ireland's Frampton, accepts that the Warrington bout could still make sense for both parties.

Having unified world titles as a super-bantamweight, Frampton (23-0-KO14) stepped up to the 126lb division in July with a crack at Mexican hero Leo Santa Cruz; securing a majority decision in New York to introduce himself to the US market in style.

So, will we see a glitzy unification bout between two of Britain's world champions?
