FRANKLIN TRAINING FUTURE CHAMPION TERRY WASHINGTON
Franklin is the head trainer of hot flyweight prospect Terry Washington, current undefeated professional boxer with five knockouts in five fights.
“Terry is fast tracking his way into taking over the flyweight division. I believe no other fighter has his combination of speed, power footwork and ring IQ,” said Franklin.
Washington was part of USA Boxing, made an Olympic bid and made his professional debut in 2024 which has produced highlight reel knockouts.
“Terrible” Terry Washington will be in a featured attraction bout on November 29, 2025 at the Pechanga Resort and Casino on a fight card promoted by Manny Pacquiao Promotions.
