Frank Warren Heading To O2 Arena On September 15

By Elliot Foster

Frank Warren is planning a show in London in the new season.

The Hall of Fame promoter, who guides the careers of Tyson Fury and Billy Joe Saunders among others, will be at ringside in the States in less than two weeks’ time.

Warren is set to be in Las Vegas with Liam Smith as the Liverpudlian challenges Jaime Munguia for the WBO world super-welterweight title.

Smith (26-1-1, 14 KOs) faces the undefeated Mexican (29-0, 25 KOs) for the belt he used to hold at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on July 21, exclusively live on BT Sport in the UK and on HBO in America.

But Warren has revealed that, before his man challenges for his second world title on the Strip, he will make an announcement regarding a new fight card soon.

In his column with the Daily Star, Warren said that he will be doing a show at the O2 Arena in Greenwich, exclusively live on BT Sport, on September 15.

He disclosed recently that he had that date held at the venue for a potential showdown between the aforementioned WBO world middleweight champion Saunders and now-former IBF super-middleweight champion James DeGale.

DeGale gave up his crown rather than face his mandatory challenger, Jose Uzcategui, who has now been made the new champion.

And though it’s unclear at this stage what the main event will be for the show, Boxing Scene understands that both Daniel Dubois, the English heavyweight champion, and WBO European and Inter-Continental light-heavyweight ruler Anthony Yarde will return on the bill.

Further details will be revealed in due course.
