Carl Frampton has revealed why he has turned to Jamie Moore as his new trainer.
The Tiger's Bay hero confirmed the partnership with the former British and European light middleweight champion on his Twitter account on Wednesday.
Frampton split with former trainer Shane McGuigan last month after parting company with Barry McGuigan's Cyclone promotions .
The Jackal met up with Salford trainer Moore last week and believes he has found "the perfect fit".
Frampton told Sky Sports: "I had a few [trainers] in my head going round to use and if I am honest, I hadn't even thought about Jamie Moore.
"My dad never gets involved with my career, but he just mentioned It was my dad who suggested him, so I got in touch with Jamie, he came over and we did a few sessions together and that was it.

"We gelled well, I like the atmosphere in the gym and I like the guys around it and I like the way he approaches training, so that was it. Jamie was the first trainer I tried and after a few days, I just started to think 'I don't need to try anyone else'.
"Because of the type of person I am, Jamie is the perfect fit. You need a trainer you can trust and I had one very good trainer in Shane, so I had to find another one. I need one that if things aren't going right, when I get back to the corner, I will hopefully get good advice that I will try and follow."
While Frampton's training situation appears to be resolved, he admits he will take some time before deciding on a new promoter.
A number of names have been linked with the 30-year-old, including Eddie Hearn, Frank Warren and Matthew Macklin.
"I have been talking to a few people and once the announcement came out it's been pretty busy," Frampton said.
"I want to see the offers on the table - which one is going to be best for me - because I am 30 years old and I don't want to be boxing when I am 34.

"I want a few big fights. 2016 was my best year; I was Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year, I won a lot of other awards, but 2017 was the worse year of my career.
"But I still believe I am a big name in boxing and I deserve the big fights. I hope whichever promoter I go with, they can deliver."
One dream Frampton is determined to realise before he retires is to fight at Windsor Park.
And he admits that will form a big part of negotiations with potential promoters.
"A big thing for me is fighting at Windsor Park and that will be part of the discussion that I have whoever I go with," he said.

"It's important to me that they deliver a fight at Windsor Park and because of the weather, we have a window from April to the beginning of September.
"It is the right time for me to take a little bit more control of my career and I think it's going to be beneficial to me.
"I am not daft, I know what promoters do, but I am the one who makes that decision and I will, very soon."
