Love Islands Frankie postponed huge fight days before ITV2 debut after injury
Love Island's Frankie Davey has entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell, but his plans were meant to be very different.
The new islander, who has set his sights on ring girl and actress Olivia Hawkins, confessed he's an undefeated boxer – but one of his matches was due to take place while he could be in the villa.
If Frankie gets picked to return to the main villa, he would likely still be in South Africa when he was set to have a match, and his training would have been compromised.

Just last month Frankie announced that he would be postponing the fight due to an injury sustained.
He wrote on a post: "Unfortunately due to suffering an injury during training, my fight on February 24th has been postponed.
"I am gutted as training was going really well, I was feeling stronger and sharper than ever.
"Thank you to everyone for all your continued support. I hope to have news of a rescheduled date soon."
Fans and friends commented on the post wishing him a speedy recovery, while one cheeky person wrote: "Looking forward to watching you in Casa Amor (laughing emoji)."
Another person responded to the comment with a laughing emoji too.
The fight was postponed within 24 hours of Frankie confirming that it would be taking place and selling tickets through his website.
It should have been taking place in just 10 days time, but instead, Frankie is sunning it up in South Africa and attempting to win over one of the girls in the villa.
Frankie may have shared a bed with Jessie, but he told his fellow islanders that Olivia is taking his eye, adding: "Obviously the boxing. Ring girl. And also the fact that she doesn't remember Kai's name."
While he's been chatting to all of the islanders, fans are already predicting sparks flying between Frankie and Olivia.
Taking to Twitter one user wrote: "Olivia is coming back with Frankie. I just know."
While another said: "I'm telling you Frankie and Olivia will do the whole, 'you're a boxer and I'm a ring girl' bulls**t."
Casa Amor has only just kicked off, so fans will need to wait to see which islanders get cosy.
Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
