    This will be the special debut that Eddie Hearn was talking about, he said that he would be on the Kell Brook undercard

    I think he will do well as a pro, he improved so much from when he gained all that weight as an amateur to being robbed of a place in the Olympics.

    He easily won that fight in Turkey.

    The fact that Callum signed with Eddie when his 3 brothers are signed with Frank W*rren says allot.....an awful lot.

    Good luck to Smith training with Gallagher, he'll be converted into a pressure fighter..

    i guess so but you know Fwank he is the sort of guy to hold a grudge.

    He might keep Paul at Super Middle, put Stephen back in with Selby and Liam in with Frankie Gavin to finish all the careers.

    Smith has been training at Gallaghers gym. So he will have been speaking to all the fighters from there about who to work with. If you look at the top amateurs who turned pro in the last 2 years.

    Callum Johnson - Pro with W*rren since December 2010 - 5 Fights

    Scott Cardle - Pro with Hearn since March 2012 - 5 Fights

    It's obvious his brothers have told him stories or given advice and he has wanted to stay away from VVarren

    People's hatred for Frank on here is getting really out of hand. Everyone is obsessed with him.

    I think it's a bit like Ferguson at United, In he past bought players to stop other clubs having them. Stop the others thriving with the talent, so if Matchroom went to sign someone he might try nip in and scupper that deal.

    He obviously signs people on there ability as well but Frank's been around and it's like back in the old days when Micky Duff would hire and venue to stop Frank putting on a show there. That sort of stuff, Veteran moves :yep..

    Callum Johnson reckons he is gonna get a shot at Ovill if he beats Enzo, thats one bad move he does.
