Frankie Gavin turns professional!

World Amateur champion Frankie Gavin has ended weeks of speculation over his future by signing a professional contract with promoter Frank Warren.

The 23 year old lightweight world champion will officially go pro next week and is expected to be trained by Anthony Farnell.

The Birmingham fighter was controversially ruled out of this summer’s Olympics in Beijing at the last minute after failing to make the weight. This was a huge blow to the youngster who went into the games as a clear favourite.
