Warrens BS offer to Ashley Theophane

Frank Warren said on February 19th in the Article entitled "Theophane running from Frankie"

"I'd love to make the Theophane fight next for Frankie. I believe that he's a precocious talent and is ready for Theophane or anybody else at light-welterweight."

"Frankie's win on Saturday night showed he is ready for anyone in Britain"

"I'd make the fight with Theophane in a heart-beat. Frankie is a world class talent, not just a British-level talent.

"He'll win the British title this year, but it will be just the first of many belts he is going to get in his career."


Ashley Theophane said on March 10th on the Bunce Hour.

"After I beat Lenny Daws the next day I got a call from Don Charles he said that Frank Warren wants to meet me. So I met Frank at his offices. Because Hennesey has options on me as British Champion so Frank asked me to vacate the title so Frankie Gavin can have it and I would go the WBO route. I was never offered a fight with Frankie Gavin I was offered an alternative route. I told them I would think about it because I always said I would win the British title and then vacate and I am a man of my word. But since then I saw what Frank Warren was saying that I am running from Frankie that I am scared. I have been sparring with good guys, beat former world champions and world numbers 3, I am the British Champion now so I am not scared of Frankie Gavin. Because they came out and said that I am scared, I am not scared and thats why I am keeping the title and if Frankie wants to fight me he can earn his way to fight me by winning an eliminator. He can earn a shot at me the same way I earned the shot at Lenny Daws."

"It de-values the title to vacate. Maybe I am going to be defending the British at the excel in June. I feel because he has the big promoter , because he has Frank Warren they can let Frankie jump the queue. I am Ashley Theophane and your not jumping the queue this time. I won an elimiantor 4 years ago and wasn't made mandatory that why I went to America because I was forced out."

If Gavin got himself mandatory the fight would be forced within a few months. No reason why Gavin cannot fight an eliminator on April 2nd or May 21st and they have the fight in September.

WBO route probably meant offering him the fight with Kell Brook.

 

you don't have to read it mate.

 

how. his message is simple if Gavin wants the fight become my mandatory.
