Doesn't seem very professional when a British Champ has to resort to a forum for requests for sparring .
Suggest you get rid of your current manager .

Exactly who better to spar if u hav a chance. Our only world am champ and current british champ any lads around his weight sud b jumping at the chance for a spar. U wud learn more in a 4 round spar than 10 pro fights with journeymen.

The only negative would be if you got schooled badly and your confidence ends up shot to shit.

Very true. Depends how u look at it frankie is a possible world champ in the making. So if u do take the spar b realistic to your talent and enjoy the learning experience. Or keep well away.

Maybe I misunderstood your original post .
I agree sparring with a British Champ would be beneficial to any local up and coming boxers and you should be commended .
But if you are training for a fight I hope your manager supplies you with top quality sparring .
It also seems to be trend on this forum to resort to name calling if someone disagrees with certain posters .
Shame really.

Wat a tool u r. Frankie wud not b short of sparring partners. His just on the look out for more. And different sparring also looking after the lads who r in his gym. Its no good sparring the same lads day in day out.
And here is a bit of advice for you.
Go to Frankies gym with your crayons and colouring book and get him to teach you English.

That seems like a fair post to me. Surely somebody in Team Gavin isn't doing their job completely and properly if Frankie's coming on here sounding out more sparring partners. He is obviously perfectly entitled to do it but if the British champ and future British star has a gap in his training it seems strange he has to make a direct appeal on a forum.

That said, I saw Jonathan Thaxton on another forum last week asking if anyone had a spare scart lead in the Norwich area that he could borrow for the night so I guess Frankie's not breaking new ground with his post.

What makes you think he has to?

Just because you're selling your house through an estate agent doesn't mean you can't ask on Facebook if anyone's interested too.

Doesn't mean it's their only way of finding sparring.

Fair point, it just seems a bit strange to me. If I was the trainer this would make me feel like I maybe needed to pay more attention to my fighter.
