Frank Buglioni, Frank Warren Have Parted Ways
By Elliot Foster
Frank Buglioni no longer has a fight date or a promoter.
The 26-year-old former WBA super middleweight title challenger, whose only other career defeat was at the hands of Brit basher Sergey Khomitsky in 2014, has cut ties with Queensberry Promotions.
Buglioni (17-2-1, 13 KOs) lost to Russian world champion Fedor Chudinov last September and had been set to return to the ring for the first time since that defeat on April 2 at Harrow Leisure Centre, with his appearance aired exclusively live on BoxNation.
But after the news that Buglioni will no longer work with the Frank Warren-headed Hertfordshire organisation, it was confirmed that he is now no longer a part of the bill that is set to be topped by Liam Williams’ defence of the British and Commonwealth super welterweight titles against Nav Mansouri.
“We can today confirm that we have not renewed our promotional agreement with Frank Buglioni,” a tweet, which was sent from Frank Warren’s official social media account, read.
“We wish Frank every success for the future.”
There had been some speculation following the news of Buglioni’s Queensberry Promotions departure that, due to him being a big seller of tickets, that he would jump ship to Eddie Hearn.
But Boxing Scene has reached out to Matchroom Sport and been told that they are not pursuing any avenue to sign the Enfield-based ‘Wise Guy’.
