Who????

Had to boxrec this dude, all fights in Africa, no recognisable names or decent record opponents including who he lost to and is coming off a win against a debutant. Horrible piece of matchmaking.

Gavin's not even a young bloke with time on his side, it was unfortunate he had to fight Bradley Price in his last fight but after that you'd think his management would wanna get him with someone half decent and a marketable name this time out. That Italian Bundu for the European title would have been perfect or a veteran like Callazo/Soto Karass/Senchenko/Carson Jones. Even Lee Purdy or Ashley Theophane would have been better than this. Disappointing.
