Former WBO super featherweight champion Alex Arthur may leave promoter Frank Warren. Arthur plans to sit down with Warren to discuss his future. If Warren doesn't give him a better career direction, he may go elsewhere. Warren recently offered him an eliminator with unbeaten bruiser Kevin Mitchell for February 13. Arthur passed because of the short-notice. But he still wants bigger fights and doesn't want to continue being an undercard fighter for Mitchel and Amir Khan.
"That's why I want to sit down with Frank as soon as possible to discuss the way ahead because I undercard fighter for the likes of Amir Khan and Mitchell. Being on the bill at six o'clock in the evening, as happened on the Khan show at Newcastle this month when I fought Nigel Wright, is not going to happen again," Arthur told The Daily Record.
"I'm a former world champion who has had more title bouts than most and think I deserve some respect. So to face or over the phone, and work out where I am going next. Ideally I would like to return to the ring at the end of February or the beginning of March. But if Frank says it will be hard for him to work me back into the title mix and is unable to get me meaningful fights I would like to think he will be good enough to release me and let me find another promoter. Frank has done a lot for me but I'm no longer managed by him. I'm self managed."
