Carl Frampton says an "explosive" display in his comeback bout in Belfast on Saturday will set up his return to the world title stage in 2018.

The former two-weight world champion faces Mexican Horacio Garcia in his first fight since his summer split with Barry McGuigan's Cyclone Promotions.

Frampton, 30, is convinced he will be the first man to stop Garcia, 27.

"I believe I can get rid of this guy," said Frampton, who has moved to Frank Warren's promotional stable.

"It needs to be a good performance. It can't be lacklustre. I need to win but the most important thing is that I am explosive."

Frampton is targeting a long-desired world title contest at Windsor Park in his native Belfast next summer although he expects to fight in advance of that in the spring.

"Windsor Park has been booked for a few dates [next summer] although obviously things can change from now to then," fanatical Northern Ireland football supporter Frampton told BBC Sport Northern Ireland.

Frampton suffered the first defeat of his career when beaten by Leo Santa Cruz last January
"It hasn't been an easy year. I'm not going to tell lies," admitted the North Belfast man.

"A lot of big changes have happened. I'm an emotional person but I have a strong family around me and they have given me good advice."
