    Another solid win for him yesterday, infront of a big crowd, supporting the main event.

    Is there a bigger prospect in the UK at the moment?

    I'd like to see him in with a Ted Cheeseman or Sam Eggington. See what the lad is really made of.

    At 6 foot 2, he's big for a welterweight. Only 22 years old, he's been managed really well so far and is due a step up. His new coach Ricky Funez looks to be a great addition to his team aswell.

    I didn’t see anything special in him to be honest mate, he looked okay but the opponent offered nothing and was tailor made for him just to pop him from range all night long. He needs a test against someone who will get up in his grill and go for him - Eggington for me is the fight to make.

    He has freakish dimensions if he can make welterweight

    Looks good. My only worry is what will making 154 take out him as he gets older (if he doesn't move up). Callum Smith making 168 at 6'3 was a mystery, never mind Sheeraz at the same height making 154.

    Been ordered to fight Anthony Fowler in an eliminator which Frank has said he plans to pull him out of.

    I think that would have been a great fight for both and give the winner a shot at British

    Tommy Hearns made 147 with same day weigh ins.

    This guy is more like 6'2".

    Whilst Fowler is no world beater he’s far in front right now.

    Didn’t specifically say. Just said we don’t fight for eliminators on for the belt. Which sounds like they don’t fancy that fight or think he’s not ready.

    I don’t mind if he’s not ready but I would hope his next opponent is atleast British top 5-10 not that bloke from Friday who Frank kept calling the Spanish champion

    Very impressed with Hamza- Excellent shot selection, weirdly for his proportions he can fight on the inside as well as the outside, good power, defence etc

    If he can take one on the chin ok, than Frank may really have something on his hands.

    He’s also a nice kid also which helps.

    Frank should look to book him against Metcalf or Liam Conway next.

    He doesn't use his height and reach
