    Nah, that's not right either. It was all to do with Amir Khan - he wanted to keep him outwith the Setanta deal since the ITV money and exposure were invaluable to him. The deal was only with SN, not the shell company.

    However, once that fell through, it served a purpose to get Frank off the hook from Calzaghe and Setanta. At least, that's how it was explained to me.

    I've heard on the Oct 15th undercard, Paul and Liam Smith back out then as well as Billy Joe Saunders fighting for the Southern area title, and Rocky Fielding, Ronnie Heffron, Tobias Webb and Paul Butler. :yep

    Primetime would be interesting especially if they could match it up with hopkins card, Bellew/Clev V Dawson/Hopkins and fwank may try and do something with the winner of Demarco/Linares :think

    I think this might be a mixture of retirement (that's why he is calling all his fighters) ad letting his sons take over, and Clev-Bellew on BoxNation (can't see it on PT if I'm honest)

    I read the other day he's moved base further out into Hertfordshire i think.

    Interesting development this, fingers crossed something really positive!

    Frank's 60 next year. Too young to retire surely?
