Tributes pour in for legendary cutman, Frank Hopkins

Highly-respected cornerman Frank Hopkins has sadly passed away.

From Emsworth, Hampshire, Frank Hopkins worked with hundreds of boxers across a long and successful career in boxing.

Frank was in the corner for Tyson Fury's emphatic knockout win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium in April 2022.
