Frankie Gavin splits with trainer Farnell

Birmingham's former world amateur champion Frankie Gavin has split with his Manchester trainer Anthony 'Arnie' Farnell. 

Gavin posted on Facebook, "I am not with arnie no more deb I owe him a lot he put a lot of effort into mean an I learnt loads but was becoming unhappy up manchester personal reasons an what not, I am gonna move to London got something sorted for my next fight in oct x"

A lot was expected of Gavin in the pro ranks and he's yet to fulfil that promise, with rumours of him leading a lifestyle that doesn't reflect the ultimate dedication needed to reach the highest level of achievement.

This has culminated in to two relatively unimpressive back-to-back performances - a clear but uninspiring points win against Young Mutley and a very narrow, hard fought points win against fellow BoxRec poster Curtis Woodhouse.
