    A slightly wacky bloke who interviews Boxers/people in Boxing and uploads the videos to his youtube channel.

    He's a massive fan of the sport and that's a understatement. He loves the sport clearly and boxes a bit and has a rather good knowledge of the sport from old days to now. He pretends to be a journalist to get interviews and then posts them on his youtube.

    He made me laugh when he made a 45 minute video on Youtube talking about a certain fight (can't remember what fight) he just rambles and has a conversation with himself.

    He's no harm really just loves the sport...

    Not really cos he only does the interviews so he has someone to talk to and show off his new friends :lol:. Supposedly he does make out he's one to get to talk to fighters. He's just a fan who likes to talk to the fighters as mates. He's not all there clear to see if you watch his vids.

    does he **** work for anyone.

    hes entertining in a laugh at him kind of way.

    he has good knowlegde of the old days but overly bums classic fighters



    in answer to the question: who is he? - he is a young fella who needs to get laid and learn some social skills also

    Neither mate, if you watch this video you can see Frank knows who he is and really doesn't want him asking questions. I think he's bit fed up with him....DeGale's fascinated by him and Clev like myself thinks he's quite funny.

    3:15 onwards
