Carl Frampton has signed an advisory deal with Matthew Macklin's MTK Global.

The former two-weight world champion has recently split from manager Barry McGuigan and Cyclone Promotions.

"We are delighted and honoured that Carl has chosen MTK to guide him through this next phase of his career and we are confident that we can help deliver the big fights he has targeted," said Macklin, in a MTK Global statement.

The Belfast star has already told Sky Sports he has three targets as he enters a new chapter in his career: fighting before Christmas so he can spend time with his family, get a rematch Leo Santa Cruz and box outside at Belfast's Windsor Park.

"That would be the dream come true to fight Leo in the third fight at Windsor Park and beat him, that would be pretty perfect and ideal," he said in a statement.

"That's an objective of mine to fight at Windsor one day and that's what I want to do and hopefully, it will happen.

"It's the biggest venue in Belfast and I support Northern Ireland very passionately.

"The atmosphere has always been pretty incredible, you need to get to a match to understand it, there's no other place like it and I want to put on a big boxing night to experience it, it would be a dream come true for me."
