A YouTuber allegedly breached retired boxing star Carl Frampton ’s confidence by disclosing details of a high-end watch purchase, the High Court has heard.
Proceedings relate to a posting Nico Leonard made on his YouTube channel back in April 2022. The court heard that the video was broadcast under the title ‘Watch expert reacts to Tyson Fury’s insane watch collection’. But it also allegedly revealed details about an expensive watch purchased by Mr Frampton.His barrister, Peter Girvan, claimed the video was offensive and derogatory and published to promote the defendant’s business. He submitted: “It exploited my client’s name, image and renown.
Mr Frampton, who now works as a TV boxing pundit and attended the hearing, is claiming damages for breach of confidence, misuse of private information, and breach of copyright. Counsel added: “There are concerns that ownership of an expensive watch would place his family in peril at times when he is known to be away from home."
Peter Hopkins KC argued there was an irregularity in how it had been obtained. “It goes without saying that the defendant denies the allegations against him and will be contesting them,” Mr Hopkins stressed.

Carl Frampton criticizes ex-manager's comments as 'egotistical'Former world boxing champion Carl Frampton has hit out at comments made by ex manager Barry McGuigan as ‘very, very egotistical’. It came after a Sunday Times interview with McGuigan where he claimed The Jackal “knows he could not have achieved anything without me or my family”. The relationship between the two former world champions broke down in 2017 when Frampton left McGuigan’s Cyclone Promotions after eight years before signing as a fighter for the now-defunct MTK firm, once run by mob boss Daniel Kinahan. The dispute led to a high-profile multi-million pound legal battle, which was settled in November 2020.
