How Much Money Did Galal Yafai Earn By Knocking Out Tommy Frank?
At 1:40 in the first round, Frank (15-4-1, 3 KO) was shortly down and the referee threw in the towel as Yafai continued to attack. Frank may not be a world-class boxer, but he was once the British flyweight champion, for what it’s worth, and he was competitive before losing to former world championship challenger Jay Harris in the tenth round of their most recent fight.
Yafai, 30, appears determined to enter the world stage as soon as possible. Despite some obvious flaws (his aggression makes him easier to hit), the man is entertaining to watch. He is by far the most entertaining of the Fighting Yafais, and he does possess the skill to support that attacking mindset—probably more than he has so far demonstrated.
Sheffield fighter Frank, 30, suffered his fourth career loss after finding it difficult to keep up with Yafai from the opening bell.
