FRANKIE GAVIN is the man to lead a boxing renaissance in Birmingham.

The city has fallen a long way down the pro sport’s pecking order, despite a thriving amateur scene.

But 27-year-old southpaw Gavin definitely possesses the technical tools to become a world beater.

The welterweight has the innate instincts to improvise that you simply cannot teach from a coaching manual and, at full throttle, his speed and skill-set are breathtaking.

The man from Hall Green remains England’s only-ever world amateur champion, having captured the lightweight title in Chicago in 2007.

Next Friday, at Walsall Town Hall, I expect the pride of Brum to sizzle in his maiden defence of the British title against tough local lad Jason Welborn. [Click Here To Read More]
