    He's had a couple call offs recently against unbeaten fighters so hasn't fought anyone competitive but has looked good against tough journeymen. What next? Seems not many are too eager to fight him and put their record at risk

    Leave Frank W...5 fights in his first 16 months as a pro is a joke.

    Should have a minimum of 8, especially considering he's only fought journeyman in 4-6 rounders.

    True, not good enough. He needs to be fighting meaningful fights now, credit to Billy who manages him as well as trains him, he's tried to match him up with a couple unbeaten guys but they've fell through. Next fight should be an eliminator for the British title, get it on Burns/Mitchell undercard

    I think many fighters in the UK would like to be more active
