    Sorry for being late but it it seems you're all getting carried away with the usual may happen fights and "They plain just don't like each other", Shctick.
    In the meantime, one of the finest coaches and finest men in our sport just got his full set.
    Frank O'Sullivan, who was 84 years old the day after Gal Yafai won the Olympic Gold and is still in the gym 6 days a week, now has the full set. From various gyms, according to affordability, this wonderful beacon of a man has trained lads who have won ABA, British, Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic Titles.
    Add to that the fact that he trained Robert McKracken who manages the GB programme while training Anthony Joshua and Carl Froch before that.
    Frank was bunged the MBE a few years back but, frankly, that's an insult. Not everyone who walked through the doors of Fore St. The BAI or St. Agnes was going to be a Champion.
    Frank has spent 60 years teaching kids respect, manners and values. I know. He coached me.
