Belfast's Carl Frampton and Michael Conlan could fight for world titles in the summer, promoter Bob Arum says.

Frampton's super-featherweight world title fight with Jamel Herring was set to take place in June, with Conlan set to challenge for a belt in August.

Both contests were likely to be held at outdoor venues in Belfast but the Covid-19 pandemic has forced a rethink.

"We're going to do these fights. The question is on which side of the Atlantic they take place," said Arum.

"We've been talking to the participants of those fights and we want to do them - the question is where can we do them and how are we going to do them?
