It means his wish to fight at Windsor Park this summer looks very likely to be fulfilled.
Frampton is off to a winning start in 2018, after a 2017 in which some critics questioned his form following a defeat to Leo Santa Cruz.
His win this weekend follows his victory over Horacio Garcia at the same venue in November.
