Former British heavyweight champion Julius Francis continues to fall from the respectable position he once occupied on the domestic heavyweight scene in the United Kingdom. Francis, who once defeated Danny Williams and was Mike Tyson's opponent on the former heavyweight champion's U.K. tour, has now lost his last twelve fights, bringing his record to a tally of twenty-three wins, twenty-two defeats with one draw. Francis also fought Vitali Klitschko and John ruiz early in their careers as well as sharing a ring with Sinan Samil Sam, Audley Harrison and Luan Krasniqi. Surely this latest loss, in a four round bout to Colin Kenna, himself a fighter with only thirteen wins against two losses and two draws is a step too far down for Francis who must surely call it a day.
