Tickets for Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg world-title unification fight in Manchester sold out in a matter of minutes this morning.

IBF champion Frampton and WBA belt holder Quigg face off in a super-bantamweight showdown on 27 February at the Manchester Arena and tickets for the bout sold out in less than ten minutes this morning.

Quigg's promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed the sell-out on twitter.

Tensions between the two fighters have risen over the last few days as they visited Belfast and Manchester to promote the fight. 

Frampton has accused Quigg of trying to unsettle him over the last few days and said: "The only chance Quigg has is for me to come out and meet him in the middle of the ring at the start.

"I could still win the fight doing that but that’s giving him a chance, that’s what they want. 

"They think they’re winding me up but they’re not winding me up, Eddie Hearn and Joe Gallagher are d***heads but they’re not winding me up."

The Tiger's Bay fighter added: "Quigg is plucking at straws, they don’t know what to say. This fight is bigger than anything I’ve been involved in but it’s 20 times bigger than any fight Scott Quigg’s ever been involved in."
