Shame about the delay, but as long as you're learning plenty in the gym it won't be wasted time

good luck with the training Larry...is it costing you a small fortune being over there (without work I mean)..and is Ola Afolabi still over there...and sparring?
Good luck pal I hope you get a shot at the British title before you're done, and who knows what else...

Larry is the delay due to frank having a lack of tv dates?
As an up and coming prospect I know you'll want to be as busy as possible but frank (and i'm sure yourself) will want most if not all of your bouts getting some kind of tv coverage.

Frank got to tv dates one in March 19th and April 23rd in Coventry. Larry hopefully your next fight in London another step up in class. Be patient your be out soon.

Who are you after Larry? I thought Carl Baker would have been a great opponent for you. Shame he was drafted in for Derek.
You got a plan to get yourself up in the British rankings? Once you get a fight with Danny Williams, McDermott, Audley, Skelton, Sprott etc. You'll have a name for yourself over night domesticity.
I'd be aiming for a fight against Skelton. He looks like he's finished but he'll be a great scalp to get.

I like your attitude Larry.
Taking yourself off to the States to improve yourself gives you a one up on a lot of fighters for starters.
You ever thought about or even gone to Germany for a bit of quality sparring? That seems to be where a lot of the top Heavyweights in Europe are based thesedays.
Flights are like the budgie(cheap, cheap!) too!
