    Wrong, they both need each other. Frank needs approval for British title fights if he is going to remain a competitive promoter.

    Frank is trying to disrupt the whole structure of British boxing so he can stage Haye-Chisora. Desperate move by a desperate man.

    He has completely undermined the board and action should be taken. He shouldn't try to re-write the rules because they don't suit him.

    Franks come out guns blazing and he has a number of points.

    The only point is it hurts the sport of boxing and it being run as a sport is brought into further disrepute.

    When Frank started his career he was basically threatened by the existing Board cartel, including Mickey Duff. He threatened to start his own board and the BBBoC backed down.

    Frank doesn't need the Board. He saved them after the Michael Watson debacle and, quite simply, no one else is generating the regular shows FW is. He can get all his fighters licensed by LuxBox if needed. That's pretty clearly the subtext.

    No, he's taking advantage of a flimsy, half-hearted attempt to curry public favour. If the board had been decisive and banned Chisora for six months, then this wouldn't have happened. They were trying to bully Chisora and, by extension, Frank with the ridiculous suspension notice.

    The board is just annoyed that he's doing his job as a manager and getting his man a fight.

    Why should "action be taken"? He hasn't done anything in contradiction of the board's rules. He's not asked for them to be rewritten. The board suspended Chisora's licence but said he could reapply with them or another board.

    That's exactly what FW and Chisora have done. The only people who have undermined the Board ARE the Board!

    They've basically exposed how corrupt, undemocratic and spiteful they are. Rather than sorting out their own, massive flaws as a regulator, they're blaming a manager for doing his legal duty of managing his fighter.

    Rethink everything you've written, apply logic to it, and you'll see I'm right.

    If that was the case they would have licensed them both and sanctioned the fight :patsch

    Haye hasn't applied for their licence, they're in limbo, that's why they're acting the ****.

    DF is right. A lot of the Boards rules have turned out to be illegal when challenged. Frankie is a past master at this sort of thing.

    Didn't Frank bail the board out with a few hundred grand years back? Something to do with Watson??

    Yes mate , it was a six figure sum, never got it back (he mentioned on Bunce's Boxing Hour the other night), he also helped fund MRI scans for at least a year out of his own pocket.
