    Seems this way folks. His Instagram saying interesting news soon, eddie hearn follows him on twitter....???? Don't blame him, however, frank gave him 16 opponents with losing records for experience... saying that, boxing in hotel suites 17 fights in isn't really what you want when others are fighting infront of 80,000/27,000 crowds.

    Eddie can't look after the fighters he's already got.

    How many times has Lawrence Okolie been messed around?

    Barrett in under contract with Frank. He fights on his uncle, Pats shows which he has a deal in place with frank to broadcast on BN like the card the other day.

    If he is leaving frank, then he is also leaving his Uncle Pat who he worships.

    The interesting news Zelfa is no doubt talking about is regarding his next fight.

    There is no news here.

    Pat picks Zelfas fights and is following the old Collyhurst way, its very very clear he will box for titles WHEN Pat thinks he is ready and not before. Whether its right or wrong path the future will tell

    It was just a guess really...but obviously we dont want to see one fighter holding both belts it can stall the division and commonwealth can drag their feet at forcing mands. Ssying that, mjw has said he will give the british up should he win it outright but there agsin i cant see him doing that until its necesssary.
    It would of been better letting the c/wealth go to two other fighters.
    The sfw div is a great div atm with plenty of good fighters in it

    Yeah I agree mate think Walsh held it for a long time without defending it. I don't think it wud have been on the line if townend had made weight as that was a eliminator for it.

    Townend fight was meant to be for the title but because he didn't make weight the title got pulled.. Shocking one of the other top guys managers didn't jump on that opportunity.. Too many managers hanging off the coat tails of Hearn and Warren

    TBH he would be an idiot leaving Frank at this stage. Eddie has too many fighters he cant put the time in. The ones lower down the pecking order are wasting away. He has just about enough time to look after his top tier fighters.

    Not really, at least eddie's fighters get promoted decently and get put on good cards on the best platform, look at Barret on boxrec, all of his opponents have major losing records and the record for all of his opponents previous 6 fights is 7 - 93 - 5, that just shows that warren can't afford good opponents and no casual will of heard or seen of him, plus warren has a load of fighters as well as matchroom.
