    Frankie got an offer to be on "I'm a celebrity... Get me out of here" so he gave the fingers to FW. He was not chuffed and publicly stated that he is hoping Gavin gets west nile disease.
    Frankie then nipped in to see Arnie to drop off his training gear as Kev Mitchell had his eye on it and Frankie was a bit worried he was going to flog while he was upto his armpits in King Cobras.

    I'll let you know more as soon as I get the info bud...:good

    Most of us don't risk our lives if we go to work and our head isn't right.

    1) Frankie Gavin goes into the ring with the personal problems, looks ****, and everyone slags him off.

    Or 2) Frankie pulls out of the fight because of personal problems, and everyone slags him off.

    All the 'ooh everyone else has problems, but they still go to work' doesn't wash with me. Boxing is a mental sport just as much as it is a physical one. If someone gets into a ring with their head not straight, they could be seriously injured which NO-ONE wants to see.

    Wait until you hear the reasons before judgement is made.

    Remember people felt same about Spencer Oliver when he fought Serguei Devakov...

    Fighters records and punch power may not mean anything but when your minds elsewhere or your having problems being punched in the face by a man who wants to win is putting yourself in a extremely dangerous place.
