Biography
Frank Borrington was a heavyweight boxer from Derby in England. BoxRec records Derby as both his birthplace and hometown and identifies him as the heavyweight champion of the Midlands of England.
He is a named participant in a surviving British Movietone film of his contest with Jack Doyle. The fight took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on March 22, 1934. The file description names the two boxers and identifies Doyle as Irish and Borrington as English.
BoxRec gives Borrington the alias the Borrington Bomber and records his death on August 22, 1989. That nickname is therefore traceable to a boxing reference rather than invented for a modern video.
The profile does not expand Frank to Francis or supply an alternative surname. Those changes would require evidence beyond a familiar-name convention. Frank Borrington is the correct searchable public identity for the boxer in the Doyle film.
