WATCH THE FULL PRESS CONFERENCE:
Speaking at this afternoon's press conference Carl Frampton said it will be a treasured moment for him;
"This is a dream for me and it is something I have talked about for a long time. You never know what happens in this game, it could be the one and only time I get to fight at Windsor Park."
"It is going to be a special occasion for myself and my family. For the people who are going to come and watch it there is going to be a top quality undercard as well and I think it will be a night to remember for Belfast".
Who is Luke Jackson?
The 33-year-old from Tasmania in Australia (16-0) 7 KO's, is the holder of the WBO Oriental Title, having previously held the WBA Oceania belt. He also captained the Australian boxing team at the 2012 London Olympics and won Commonwealth Games bronze in 2006.
Who is on the undercard?
Paddy Barnes will challenge for the WBC World Flyweight title as he faces world champion Cristofer Rosales (27-3) 18 KO's. Barnes says he is expecting a tough test.
"Rosales is good at what he does, but I feel I have the skill to outfight and outbox him. It will be a very, very hard fight though."
"People will talk about me fighting for a world title after just six fights, but I don't view it as a gamble because of my history as an amateur."
Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will continue his comeback on the undercard with an opponent to be confirmed.
