Sun boxing just tweeted: Frankie Gavin has withdrawn from his British title eliminator with Junior Witter. The welterweight showdown was scheduled for December 9. I didn't even know this was meant to be happening! The Sun does has a habit of writing **** however.
that was never going to happen was it? Wazza said on Bunces show that he was trying to get him out in February.
Its on b scene now I didnt actually realise this was officially on. Id heard it mentioned but i thought that was all it was. But it said it was scheduled for next Friday. Didnt say why he pulled out but its strange after the last one. Something must be going on in his personal life or at least some serious tension with his team. Whatever it is it must be sorted out or his career will suffer before its even began. Im a big fan of Frankie but something just doesnt seem right.
Glad it wasn't just me that had no idea that this was meant to be happening! I wish Frankie all the best though, he seems to have had a tough year.
never knew it was on, gavin mentioned on fbook the other day his back training in brum with his old am team and getting back on track
It was never on was it? Hennessy won a purse bid after Gavin's problems came clear. I'm concerned like Rob that Gavin won't get anywhere, he's been a pro three years and had next to no fights and has beaten three English level operators, two in less than impressive fashion. He's 26, much like Price and Jeffries some rapid progress needs to be made. As I said a while ago, the class of 2008 will be the forgotten generation of British fighters.
