Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Breaks Down Fury-Seferi, Flanagan-Hooker

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A LITTLE PIECE of English boxing history will be made on Saturday night in Manchester should Terry Flanagan overcome Maurice Hooker and make the WBO world super lightweight title his own. Terry, the first Englishman to win a world title at lightweight, would become the first to do so at the weight above if he deals with a tough and tricky customer in Hooker.

Tyson Fury is not, and has never been, the 'lineal' world heavyweight champion and Warren stating this doesn't make it any more true. The last undisputed champion was Lennox Lewis but after his retirement the belts were split up. Wladimir Klitschko never won the WBC title (held by Wilder) so he was never undisputed or 'lineal' champion. His status was the same as Anthony Joshua's - one big belt short of undisputed. In addition, Fury retired from the ring and was banned for drug abuse, and has not fought for two-and-a-half years. If he wins a couple of bouts he will be simply a contender and former title holder. No more. No less.

You don't have to win every single belt to be considered 'lineal', though. It's a notional title. If you had to win every title, Lennox Lewis wasn't lineal either since he never won the WBO.

Frank Warren breaks down Frank Warren about Frank Warren and the situation with Frank Warren....

[thack]

This is a complete farce.....nothing more.

Tyson Fury v a midget .....and he talks of how easy it would be to beat Wilder and A.J............UNBELIEVABLE.

If somehow turbo terry and fluffy fury lost the headline would be very similar ' frank warren breaks down and collapses after shock upset win'

This is worse of a joke than David Haye 2.0, simply pathetic of Fury and his promoter.

Does Warren realise lineal is not a real title?
