    Frank is a legend and i hope somebody close to him has a word and he sees sense
     
  3. You can blame Eddie Hearn for this, telling all and sundry that Joshua knocked him out in 2 rounds, will stir the fire in any warrior's belly.

    Sounds like Frank watched Rocky Balboa last night and fancied a go.

    Hopefully he calls out Tarver.

    Looks like the only thing Bruno will be returning to is a padded cell.

    According to the Mail the BBBofC have already said they won't licence him - hopefully he can't go the Luxembourg route like Haye and Chisora did. But even for some tinpot European board the negative publicity would be immense, so I doubt this will happen

    Maybe he's thinking about doing exhibitions? If he stays clear of Ivan Drago he will be fine on that front.

    The guy earns 4k per night doing sportsman's dinners across the Uk

    There would be plenty of pantomimes that would pay him good money and he's done that in the past

    Why does he say he needs to box again

    He can earn decent money without boxing

    Fortunately, the Board will not grant him a license. From what I have heard they are pretty inconsistent with their decision making processes but this will be a sure fire 'no'. He will probably try and fight it but it will be a long process by which time you have to think he might come to his senses or give in. He may go the Malta/Luxembourg commission route, but unlike Haye-Chisora there isn't the appetite for the fight nor the finances to help it along. The other thing is that even those commissions will not want to deal with the negative publicity. Plus who will he fight, or more importantly who will fight him?! Honestly the only 'name' I can see taking the fight would be Shannon Briggs or similar.

    I think this will be like the Collins-RJJ, Benn-Eubank touted bouts etc. Will be a few week's worth of chatter and the topic will be forgotten about.

    You'd hope so. I also hope Hearn keeps his mouth shut re. Frank as he's clearly not well and the last thing we need is him goading him and belittling his ability as a fighter. It actually really makes me want to see AJ get wiped out in his next fight, just to see the pencil necked little daddies boy get a bit of comeuppance. Hopefully we see him as skint as Frank W@rren in years to come.
