Actually shocked at this but here it is

TYSON FURY has signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren, according to the promoter. He will make his first appearance for Queensberry on February 15 at the Copper Box Arena with view to securing a June rematch with Dereck Chisora in a world title eliminator.
"Fury's signed a lengthy promotional deal," said Warren. "When Chisora and Fury fight again it will determine the leading contender in the world. It's a huge fight, a football stadium fight, and it's what the fans want to see. I have always had faith in Dereck and you will not find a more explosive and exciting contender on the planet."
Del Boy kicks on from his rejuvenating 2013 with a swift return to action on the same bill against unbeaten, albeit untested, Andriy Rudenko.
"I'm excited about fighting Fury again," said Chisora. "But I'm focused on this guy in February. It's a fight I have to win."
The heavyweight emerged from 2013 as Britain's in-form heavyweight, European king, and world title contender, with four wins that included victories over useful duo Malik Scott and Edmund Gerber.
Fury, who still has ties with Mick Hennessy, is expected to fight an overseas opponent in a 10-rounder.
Chisora's EBU belt will be on the line inside the Copper Box Arena, as the headline act with intriguing support from Liam Walsh-Gary Sykes (Commonwealth and vacant British super-featherweight titles), and title bouts for unbeaten prospects Frank Buglioni at super-middle, English welterweight boss, Bradley Skeete, and Tyson's cousin Hughie Fury.
I think it's because Channel 5 doesn't have the budget for the fights that Fury's moving towards, regardless of viewership
Ah fair enough. Cheers mate.
Surely Fury would get more exposure to the general public by fighting on Channel 5 (terrestrial channel) rather than BoxNation?
I refuse to line Warren's pockets, which means I'll be streaming Tyson's future fights on my laptop rather than watching it on my massive TV. :(
Exposure is all well and good but C5 are showing no real signs of making an effort to show boxing. I appreciate Hennessy trying to bring boxing back to terrestrial (and thought he did well for a while) but the ship has sailed. Good choice to move on.

I really wish sky would entertain taking on another promoter. Idont think Hearn has done that badly but i dont get the logic of giving one company a monopoly. Surely Sky realise they are in control and could offer their dates to whoever presents them the best fights?

Also why does Warren love putting boxing matches on in Football stadiums? I went to Upton Park for Haye-Chisora and it was a sh*t venue for boxing. Most of the fans cant see, the fans who paid more got soaked with rain and atmosphere would be better indoors.
Because Warren belongs to the 'working men's club' school of promotion. He's only really good at marketing his fights to boneheads because he thinks that only boneheads watch boxing. Bit annoyed that Fury (whom I like) has signed for Warren (whom I don't), but Fury badly needs exposure other than Channel 5, and if the Sky route has closed then this is really all there is left.
Sweet. Rather see him on boxnation than Channel 5.
Why did Warren come out and say Fury signed for him then? Strange.
Peter called it a 'co-promotional contract' with boxnation on Twitter. Warren must just be talking about the tv deal.
If you are fighting on BN i suppose you are basically being co promoted by Warren.
Also o agree id rather Hughie on Bn. Better to see the majority of his fights on a good recording rather than see the majority recorded off a phone

Strange move. I would have thought Sky would have wanted him on their network, he was doing a pretty good job promoting the Haye fight and he's in the position to make some pretty excting fights very soon.
Still the Chisora fight should be fun at least!
The Fury - Wilder fight was put to Sky Sports and they turned it down. Since been a falling out with Team Fury and Adam Smith.
signed with Boxnation maybe?
Warren did say Fury had 'signed a lengthy promotional contract' though
Yes it is boxnation. Tyson has already been announced on Chisora's undercard on Feb 15th on boxnation at the copper box arena london. Newspaper reporter Gareth Davies is saying that Frank and Mick are trying to build up a June Chisora vs Fury rematch.
Our Promotor is still mock Hennessy!! We are currently awaiting the contract in a co promotion with Boxnation. Only then the deal is Done!!— peter fury. (@peterfury) January 8, 2014
(Yep that is 'Mock' Hennessy :rofl:)
Mick Hennessey is still involved here is Frank Warren's recent tweet from his twitter page -
''We look forward to working with Tyson, Peter Fury, Mick Hennessey, Hughie Fury and the rest of the team.''

Hearn says some ridiculous stuff.
"Froch was unconscious when he got up from groves knockdown". Uh, no he wasn't.
"It's good that Anthony Joshua is fighting again next week" meanwhile Larry Holmes is standing right next to Joshua and says it's a bad idea and Joshua needs his body to recuperate. Sure enough, Joshua gets last minute injury.
Surprising.
I don't know why fighters get with Warren it seems all the opportunities are with Hearn.
A step up from Mick Hennesey though.
