Frankie Gavin: record, next fight and profile →

Tyson Fury has called for Dereck Chisora to be stripped of the British heavyweight title after another stunning knockout victory at the weekend.

Frankie Gavin has got his sights set on new British light-welterweight champion Ashley Theophane after the best win of his career on Saturday night.

Former world amateur champion Frankie Gavin produced the best performance of his short professional career with a seventh-round stoppage of former British title challenger Michael Lomax at York Hall.

EVERYONE thinks promoting is easy. You set up a great fight, sell out your venue, your man wins and you go home happy.

At York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, a Big Bang occurred just moments ago as comebacking British heavyweight John McDermott (26-7, 17 KOs) erased his previous bad memories with the first-round destruction of china-chinned prospect Larry Olubamiwo (10-2, 9 KOs). McDermott, coming of two consecutive losses to Tyson Fury, floored Olubamiwo twice in just a minute and a half with stinging right hands. Time was 1:15 when referee Jeff Hinds stepped in and waved badly shaken Larry off. McDermott is now the BBBofC Southern Area heavyweight titlist.

British boxing fans will get their fair share of action this Saturday night, especially fans in the London area, who have a number of big bills to choose from. All the big shows will be split between heavyweight action and fights from the lower divisions. But which bill deserves the lead when it comes to a big fight night preview? There can be only one answer.

Former world amateur champion Frankie Gavin (8-0, 7 KO’s) will still top the bill at the York Hall in Bethnall Green on Saturday night after 32 year-old Michael Lomax, who previously fought Kell Brook, agreed to step in on late notice and saved the bill from being scrapped.

Frankie Gavin's British welterweight title eliminator against Jason Cook has been pulled by the BBBoC due to concerns over the Welshman's ability to safely make the welterweight limit. Ian McNeilly of Boxrec news broke the news earlier today. This latest withdrawal comes hot on the heels of Tony Bellew's decision to withdraw from his rematch against Ovill McKenzie due to a hand injury.

Hot prospect Frankie Gavin will now headline at London's York Hall this Saturday (19th February) after former gym Tony Bellew withdrew because of a hand injury.

Frankie Gavin has vowed to become the first boxer to halt rugged Frenchman Munior Geubbas.
