By Frank Warren - For years, London’s Royal Albert Hall was synonymous with boxing. Years ago, I staged some big shows there, and until a few years ago almost every big name in Britain – and more than a few from overseas – had fought there.

It can still produce the super fights, it can still produce the atmosphere and the crowd like nowhere else. I don't think there's anywhere else in the world that can compare to it.
