Frank Warren rejects claims of Lee-Saunders ticket issues

•Aug 25, 2015

Promoter Frank Warren has rejected the widespread industry rumors that slow ticket sales were the main reason or the postponement of the IBF middleweight title fight between champion Andy Lee and mandatory challenger Billy Joe Saunders. The fight was initially scheduled for September 19th at Thomond Park in Limerick as Lee's homecoming title defense. But two weeks ago BoxingScene.com first reported that Lee had been battling a bad virus, which affected his training camp and he needed some additional time to properly prepare for the bout.

Frank Buglioni may be one of the best-looking boxers in the business, but he is not just a pretty face – something he is determined to demonstrate when he challenges Fedor Chudinov for the hardcore Russian’s WBA World Super-Middleweight title at Wembley on September 26. This potentially enthralling contest has been perhaps somewhat overshadowed by the publicity surrounding the 10th October triple world title card in Manchester headlined by the Andy Lee-Billy Joe Saunders WBO World Middleweight Title fight.

There is no question that over the last two decades Floyd Mayweather Jnr has carved out the unquestionable status as the best fighter of his generation. He has taking revenue generation in the sport to dizzying new heights and it’s hard to see anyone getting close to making the money he has in the sport again. The unashamedly confident Floyd recently listed his opinion on the greatest ever five fighters. Unsurprisingly, given he refers to himself often publicly as ‘TBE’ or ‘The Best Ever’, Floyd placed himself at number one on this list.

Frank Warren Discusses The UK Lightweight Division

•Aug 8, 2015

Our great lightweights are now the heavyweights of boxing. Sixty one kilogrammes, or 135lb (that’s 9st 9lb in old money) may be the limit for boxing’s lightweight division, but it is one that is is emerging as the heavyweight as far as Britain is concerned. Currently it is the liveliest in the UK, a division rich in talent and excitement headed by our man Terry Flanagan, who has become the first Englishman to win a world title at this limit and also WBA Interim World Champion Derry Mathews from Liverpool. Which is why I was astonished to see on the telecast of last weekend’s Hull bill that Sky placed Ricky Burns at the top of their list of leading British lightweights, followed by Kevin Mitchell - above Flanagan who actually is a world champion and Anthony Crolla who has just fought a draw in one.
