    I don’t blame him, definitely worth a tough weight cut to batter the Prince for decent money (although I’d be rooting for Patel in that one!). Yh would be odd to go down.
    I’d be interested in that grudge match tbf.

    The Prince is a complete fraud, but I do respect the hustle, he’s somehow turned himself into a world ranked fighter by fighting complete nobodies in obscure locations.

      Yeah I’ll literally just watch the undercard, same with Fury-Ngannou.

      I’ve noticed they’re both climbing the WBO rankings too, I imagine if they do meet next year Frank gets the WBO to sanction it as a final eliminator or even for an interim title like they did for Joyce
      Haven't seen the rankings, but knowing Frank the fact that they're up the WBO does not surprise me - Eubank is up there as well is he not?

        Think he might be #1, I know Liam was at #1 going into the rematch.

          Oh he absolutely is, but agreed - have to respect it, although how many of his opponents have come to win is a bit contentious. Love to see him in with somebody though. Get a fight where Sunny comes in at 112 and the Prince is allowed anywhere short of 130 and I'll definitely watch it.

            I remember he got that fight on the Khan-Dib undercard and he got completely exposed.

            I think that’s the only time I’ve watched since he first turned pro. I do wonder what the end game is with Patel with all this record padding. He definitely seems to rile several UK fighters Edwards, Lowe, Clarke etc.

              I’d have thought it would be a fight with Sunny (especially given he’s actually somehow world-ranked, although I don’t know if it’s with the correct governing body) but then he had that back and forth with Lowe.

              It can’t be an eliminator or something against a non-name cause he was dreadful against Banquez who iirc isn’t all that. He must know he’d just get embarrassed against anyone who’s even a fringe contender.

                I think he was ranked with IBF at 115, he definitely held one their ranking titles, think it was the IBF African, Australasian or something crazy like that.

                  Okolie’s rematch clause is set to expire. CBS to make a voluntary in December- likely against Masternak, then the winner will be ordered to face Riakporhe.

                    Jack Cullen will defend the British Super Middleweight title against Callum Simpson on a Boxxer card later this year.

                      This is a good scrap. Big Jack Cullen fan, but I think Simpson will probably be too fresh for him. Really good matchup.
