brilliant, another protected frank warren fighter

LOL thats Frank warren for you mate..

look for him to rack up a record of 35-0 or something to that effect fighting no bodies win a paper title, defend it like 10 times, then go to the U.S and get exposed

It seem everybody knows how Warren works by now but he still have people fooled into how great his fighters are even though they're mostly protected like an endanger species.

British Olympian Frankie Gavin, the first British fighter to win a world amateur title, is also the first British Olympian to go pro, signing a reported three-year deal with promoter Frank Warren. Gavin plans to campaign at junior welterweight and will have his interests represented by attorney Gareth Williams, who already represents both Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe. Gavin was forced out of the Olympic Games in Beijing after he failed to make the weight, for lightweight. [details]

So, how is he an olympian if he never even made to olympics?

Frank warren just can't help himself. There he goes again ruining another potentially great career. When will these guys learn? Atleast he gets them rich!

Its not about when would they learn but how much warren would make them, Warren is brilliant at that (Making them instant millionaires) and its too difficult for anyone to turn down that sort of plan/money even though they would be fighting bums for at least 30-0 fights.

The funny thing thing is Warren has some brilliant fighters in his time but he waste their talent by putting them in with mediocre fighters.

So, how is he an olympian if he never even made to olympics?

Because he was registered as one, He did made it to the olympics but was unable to make weight for his olympic debut.

He was a favourite for Gold because of his talent/fighting style.

I would never sign with warren i would have tried to get another promoter, It looked like warren was on his way out, i just find it hard to support fighters that are with Warren.
