Haven't seen the rankings, but knowing Frank the fact that they're up the WBO does not surprise me - Eubank is up there as well is he not?
Yeah I’ll literally just watch the undercard, same with Fury-Ngannou.
I’ve noticed they’re both climbing the WBO rankings too, I imagine if they do meet next year Frank gets the WBO to sanction it as a final eliminator or even for an interim title like they did for JoyceComment

Oh he absolutely is, but agreed - have to respect it, although how many of his opponents have come to win is a bit contentious. Love to see him in with somebody though. Get a fight where Sunny comes in at 112 and the Prince is allowed anywhere short of 130 and I'll definitely watch it.Comment

I remember he got that fight on the Khan-Dib undercard and he got completely exposed.

I think that’s the only time I’ve watched since he first turned pro. I do wonder what the end game is with Patel with all this record padding. He definitely seems to rile several UK fighters Edwards, Lowe, Clarke etc.

I’d have thought it would be a fight with Sunny (especially given he’s actually somehow world-ranked, although I don’t know if it’s with the correct governing body) but then he had that back and forth with Lowe.

It can’t be an eliminator or something against a non-name cause he was dreadful against Banquez who iirc isn’t all that. He must know he’d just get embarrassed against anyone who’s even a fringe contender.Last edited by BrilliantAJ; 10-12-2023, 04:03 AM.Comment

I think he was ranked with IBF at 115, he definitely held one their ranking titles, think it was the IBF African, Australasian or something crazy like that.
