Frank Warren: WITH SPORT ON the whole creeping sluggishly out of enforced hibernation and attempting to establish a foothold in the world of the so-called new normal, how about lighting the touch paper and really bringing British boxing back with a bang?
Lennox Lewis, an all-time great heavyweight champion who defeated every man he faced. Tyson Fury, the best big man on the planet today, also owning wins over every man he has (thus far) faced.
HALL-OF-FAME promoter Frank Warren has responded to Tyson Fury’s sensational Lockdown Lowdown interview where he declared he’d beat “cash cow” Anthony Joshua and called WBC mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte a “stocky plodder”.
There was a time when a British heavyweight never got a look in as far as wearing the world heavyweight crown.
Earlier this week, promoter Eddie Hearn got plenty of people quite excited when he stated how he and Bob Arum have been in talks regarding a super-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua taking place as soon as this December.
It’s no secret promoter Frank Warren is high on heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois; who has of course just signed on for a risky and potentially explosive fight with fellow unbeaten Joe Joyce.
It seems we UK fight fans have seen the last of a £19.95 price tag attached to a big fight; with the fee increased to a standard £24.95.
DANIEL DUBOIS AND his opponent at the Copper Box Arena, Kyotaro Fujimoto, went face-to-face for the first time at the BT studios in Stratford ahead of the bumper ‘The Fight Before Christmas’ show on Saturday night, live on BT Sport 1, with the WBC Silver and WBO International heavyweight titles at stake.
Could your nerves stand it if not one but two massive heavyweight upsets took place this year, this summer, within two weeks of each other?
Promoter Frank Warren, in speaking with talkSPORT, says the fact that WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder did not go to DAZN is “good news for us, from Tyson Fury’s point of view.”
