Tyson Fury signs with Frank Warren!!!

[TGD]

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.

Also why does Warren love putting boxing matches on in Football stadiums? I went to Upton Park for Haye-Chisora and it was a **** venue for boxing. Most of the fans cant see, the fans who paid more got soaked with rain and atmosphere would be better indoors.

What about Hughie?

Sweet. Rather see him on boxnation than Channel 5.

Why did Warren come out and say Fury signed for him then? Strange.

I think it's good news. Just means we'll get to see them fight more often.

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

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.

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.

I think it's because Channel 5 doesn't have the budget for the fights that Fury's moving towards, regardless of viewership
