Frank Sanchez
The Cuban Flash
Bio
Make no mistake, Frank Sanchez has been one of the most slept-on operators in the heavyweight division for years. The Cuban amateur stylist turned slick pro has been knocking around the top ten with a textbook jab and movement that most heavyweights simply cannot replicate.
The one black mark on the record is the Agit Kabayel loss — a brutal night where the body work eventually cracked him. Question marks linger over whether he can stand up to sustained downstairs pressure, and that is what Richard Torrez Jr will be looking to exploit on Glory In Giza on May 23.
This is the biggest opportunity of his career. Win in Egypt and he becomes IBF mandatory for Oleksandr Usyk. Lose and he is back in the queue for the rest of his career. Sanchez at 33 knows the script — he has to be brilliant on the night, and he knows it.
