    Can anyone confirm if he will be fighting on September 4th at Kelvin Hall? Says he is on Boxrec but not on Frank's website, anyone got any info?

    cheers.

    To be honest im not to excited about this card, there is only 2 fights the rest will be tune up or learning fights. Arthur, Appleby are coming off long lay offs, the rest are all novices.

    Arthur is such a disappointment. That pitiful loss to Cook still rankles. Though Dunky trying to say he was robbed was priceless.

    i don't think arthur has the desire for the fighting anymore. don't think he would beat any decent british fighter at lightweight.

    there was a feature on him in the Scotsman newspaper recently, he seems very focused and full of self belief, but im afraid i just cant see him doing it..., i reckon hes done tbh and he just cant accept it. i hope he can prove otherwise

    hes a deeply religious guy as well, didnt realise this before. now im not saying that has any relation to Alex not being able to see the truth and believing in deluded ideas but...

    i agree he always lookin for an angle to get publicity and the religious beliefs just seem to be more of that

    think one of his biggest problems is his big time charlie attitude. thought he was a superstar before he won anything, he wrote of gomez as a bum and got found out as a first class fraud. imo

    During the cook fight was he not being weird in the corner asking wayne mcculloch to give him some faith or something!

    yep, he admitted that much himself, having 3 figure amounts in his account before gomez and playing video games thinking he could just KO gomez easily
