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.

The show's main event will now be an eliminator for the British title with an English title fight as chief support. It could do with a bigger title being on the line.

Whats the English title fight?

Larry vs John is Southern Area, Fury is English Champion, fighting on the same night on a different bill.

My mistake. It is an even weaker bill than I was suggesting, although they are both good fights.

Don't worry everyone. Big johnny Greaves is on the bill. I will still dance the roof off the old York hall! Lol

This will be about the fifth time I've seen you in the last 12 months, Johnny.

Filling in for Bellew? ;;-)

How far's the York Hall from your house Johnny? Walking distance?

No mate, I've moved my kids to the lovely place called Essex. Still get there in 45 though mate!

I'm training hard at the mo. Been a 20 a day man for 10 years, gave up new year so hoping to perform better this year. Tuff job Saturday mate but I always seem to perform when I'm under pressure ! Give me a shout mate, nice too put a face to names

whereabouts in Essex mate? I'm from Rainham myself, just inside London.

Only hornchurch mate. Not deepest darkest Essex but only here while a house in chadwell heath is finished. Still better than upton park tho pal. If I stayed their I would have to buy a shooter like the other dads up the school, lol

I quit last week but failed again for about the 20th time, I feel your pain. When I played a lot of football and was regularly running/gyming I found smoking counter productive but could still not quit!

Will do mate, I'm ringside but no idea which bit as it changes depending on who you get yer tickets from.

Ok mate , I'll see you sat. Still like a beer tho so feel free to get me one in, ha ha. Only jesting mate.

Heh, my pockets are deep. If there's one thing I'm good at it's getting the beers in.

I think the last time I was there I ended up acosting Wayne Alexander in the bar and chatting about boxing and his old fights etc. I told him I used to box as a kid and he laughed and said yeah mate the only thing you box now is chips. For once I was lost for words.

Crap news

I normally go in the little pub straight across the road. Bit spit & sawdust but you always get a few old faces in there plus a late drink . If no one knows what I look like I'll probably have a black eye or two, ha

Gutted about this, i'm working in London and was planning my first trip to the York Hall this weekend.

Considering going along to the Wembley bill now, tough decision to make....

i shall be in attendance...any word on jamie cox's opponent?
