It will be a quiet week in boxing as there is only one card on Saturday. It’s an early afternoon one from the Utilita Arena in Birmingham, U.K. Matchroom Boxing hosts a live card on DAZN, which is headlined by Galal Yafai (4-0, 3 KOs)going up against Tommy Frank (15-3-1, 3 KOs) for the WBC International flyweight title in a scheduled 10 round fight.
Yafai won the gold medal at the 2020 Olympics and is the younger brother of former WBA super flyweight champion Kal Yafai (27-1, 15 KOs) and super bantamweight Gamal Yafai (19-3,11 KOs). Matchroom has big plans for Yafai as they attempt to fast-track him through the ranks with hopes of a title shot within the next two years. Yafai has a bright future once he fully embraces the Pro style.
The 30-year-old Frank will have his hands full on Saturday night as he likes to stay in the pocket and keeps his hands down longer than he should. This should play right into Yafai’s style and will lead to late stoppage. Can Frank catch Yafai in a moment of overconfidence and stop him?
