Frank Warren’s organisation was represented in Cancun by Francis Warren and matchmaker Jason McClory who were delighted with the successful trip and the ratings attained. Francis said: “It was a very worthwhile convention for us and WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman was particularly aware of our big stable of heavyweights, alongside many of Queensberry Promotions other boxers.
Frank Warren, promoter of undefeated heavyweights Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce, will be keeping a close eye on this week's bout between Derek Chisora and David Price. Warren would love to match either boxer against the winner.
I SEE OLD Dellboy Chisora piped up last week with a few premature rumours of my demise, but I think I can confidently predict that his retirement from boxing will come long before mine. Dereck is a bit of an old relic of the division on about his tenth rebuilding job by now while, funnily enough, the present and future of the heavyweight operate under my guidance and promotion.
Josh Warrington could make a return to the ring in February before a summer blockbuster fight at the home of Leeds United, according to his promoter, Frank Warren. Warrington made short work of Sofiane Takoucht in the third defence of his IBF featherweight title at the First Direct Arena, Leeds, on Saturday, taking less than two rounds to stop the Frenchman.
IBF featherweight world champion Josh Warrington was way too much for French challenger Sofiane Takoucht at Leeds Arena. Unlike his last fight, which was a boring decision win over mandatory challenger Kid Galahad, Warrington came out firing bombs to the head and body, and blew right threw Takoucht in two rapid rounds.
Josh Warrington and promoter Frank Warren have been criticized for the opponent Warrington will face Saturday night. Warren reminded cynics, however, that Warrington wanted a featherweight title unification fight after edging England’s Kid Galahad in a mandatory title defense June 15. Once Warren was unable to secure fights against former featherweight champions Leo Santa Cruz or Oscar Valdez, both of whom moved up to 130 pounds, Warren and Warrington decided to stay busy by making an optional defense of his IBF featherweight title.
Frank Warren doesn’t think the criticism of Josh Warrington’s last performance was warranted. Warrington’s promoter placed the blame for that ugly clutch-fest solely on Kid Galahad, who was Warrington’s mandatory challenger. Warren blasted Galahad on Wednesday for not coming to fight June 15 in a 12-round featherweight title bout between British rivals.
Frank Warren, promoter for top heavyweight Tyson Fury, has praised his fighter for the highly publicized angles in the WWE - but at the same time the veteran promoter is very concerned that his fighter could injure himself. Since last Friday, Fury has taken part in a series of angles with WWE superstar Braun Strowman.
Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren today held the final press conference ahead of Josh Warrington’s third IBF world featherweight championship defence at First Direct Arena, Leeds on Saturday (October 12), live on BT Sport. Warrington faces number four ranked challenger, France’s Sofiane Takoucht.
WE RETURN TO the setting of quite possibly the best atmosphere in English boxing on Saturday when we have the pleasure of staging another Josh Warrington world title fight night in Leeds at the FD Arena. It is no secret – and both myself and Josh have placed on record – that we were seeking a unification clash for our man after he completed his mandatory obligation with the IBF against Kid Galahad in June.
