    Good to see him getting his pro career started. I thought he’d had to retire or something because of a medical issue, so great that is not the case.

    Surprised he hasnt gone to Matchroom with Pat and the other Newcastle fighters Eddie has.

    Saying that, Queensberry is probably the most appealing promotion at the minute (shocked to be saying that after the past 10 years) and will be interesting how this years Olympians decide where to go.

    Surprised to hear this, thought they found something worrying on a brain scan. Glad he's OK, the BBBofC are usually pretty strict on things like this, so if they're happy he must be healthy.

    As Boxing Gloves says, there was originally a problem with his brain scans I think.

    Does make you wonder if this is a bit of a momentum shift, when was the last Olympian that turned over with Frank? Billy Jo?

    Nicola Adam’s was the last from what I remember or Mohammed Ali, but I think he’d served a ban, so was late turning over.

    It will be interesting to see how the landscape has shifted when the Olympians turn over this year.

    Good news that he can finally get his pro career kick started.
