When and why you started boxing:
I was nine years old. My dad [John Frankham] used to help out at Pinewood Starr ABC, so I started there.
Favourite all-time fighter:
The two Sugar Rays โ Leonard and Robinson. Also, Floyd Mayweather because heโs done what every fighter wants to do.
Best fight you’ve seen:
The Marco Antonio Barrera-Erik Morales fights. All three of them were great.
Personal career highlight:
Probably winning a gold medal at the [2015] European Junior Championships as an amateur.
Toughest opponent:
Levi Coats from Repton [Boxing Club]. Weโre both from travelling families and weโd both won everything, so people from all over the place turned up to watch us fight. There were over 1,500 people packed into this small venue, so the pressure on both of us was unbelievable.

Iโd like to think Iโm a slick boxer, but Iโll have a tear-up as well if needed.
