Frankie Gavin was deemed as the next Amir Khan but being compared to King Khan seems to have become somewhat of a curse. Not affecting southpaw Gavin’s pursuit for professional titles but what happened to the media attention and the hype?. Frankie Gavin’s undeniable talent knows no bounds but is his style holding him back from the big time?. The Welterweight division is so promising with talent emerging world wide but is it time to move on and look elsewhere for those eye catching fighters we love so much?.
Is the sweet science changing right under our nose and are we blissfully unaware?. The world is seeming to turn a blind eye to the technically sound fighters like Amir Khan and Frankie Gavin to name but a pair. Media attention or not Frankie Gavin gets on with business as usual and quietly picks up the wins.
With the likes of Carl Froch’s success in America, David Haye’s unmistakable hatred for Wladimir Klitschko, Bernard Hopkins winning world titles at 103 years old and fresh talents in the shape of Kell Brook, Joe and John Murray, Darren barker, David Price and Billy Joe Saunders maybe there simply is not enough time in the day or enough ink in your pen to cover everything.
Next up for Gavin, ex Sheffield United footballer Curtis Woodhouse on July 16th at Liverpool’s Echo Arena for the WBO Inter-Continental Title. Not to be taken in by Gavin’s woeful performance against Young Mutley, Curtis claims this will be the hardest fight of his life.
Curtis Woodhouse had expressed his respect for Frankie saying “you just have to look at his amateur achievements”, Gavin is Britains only amateur world championship gold medallist (David Haye won silver).
After 3 weeks training Woodhouse said he feels great “I don’t look at Gavin as unbeatable, I’m not just here to make up the numbers”.
Gavin on the other hand claims he is a cut above Curtis and expects a fairly straight forward fight.
