Warren - the only active British promoter enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame – put the wheels in motion for a highly anticipated grudge match between hated rivals David Haye and Dereck Chisora. The bout is set to take place on July 14, though required the blessing of the Luxemborg Boxing Federation since neither fighter currently holds a British boxing license.
