    I think a Helenius or or dare i say David Price would be a good step up...

    they'd probably both spark him out.

    Warren is gonna have to go extremely slow with him. Dave Allen or Gary Cornish is probably the best we can hope for realistically, unless they want him to have a loss.

    Price or Joyce, both are as easy to hit as Dubios who has no head movement.

    I hope it's against somebody who will come to win, rather than somebody who will just try to survive. Want to see him take a proper punch. Maybe like Nick Webb, Dave Allen or Lenroy Thomas.

    There's is no point in moving your head if your fighting an opponent who does not through any punches.

    He destroys Price and gets flattened by Joyce.

    For some weird reason I’d actually give Price a chance against double D’s. One of those Povetkin moments when he caught him. Despite Fwank saying he’s the best he’s ever seen at his age I still don’t see him even getting past Chisora and the likes of even Bellew would spark him within 3. Like the kid but I’m worried about the head movement too. Guess we will see him in a meaningful fight in 2020 maybe or once the current HW dwindle. Hughie Fury isn’t that much older and look what he’s done so far despite losing. No excuses Fwank!

    Price would be a good fight. A bit risky though - even though he has the lung capacity of an asthmatic ant Price can still bang. So doubt that happens.

    He should be aiming for British title level at least. Age should be irrelevant the facts are he is beating everyone in and around domestic level and he needs to step up to Euro.

    Knowing Frank he will protect him for another 20 fights and then put him in for the WBO European.

    Nathan gorman. Stop keeping British boxers apart to preserve fake zeros. That way we all learn far quicker and improve as fighters
