Three of Frank Warren's undefeated heavyweights will be on display this Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London. In a battle of unbeatens, Daniel Dubois and Nathan Gorman will collide - with the winner likely moving on to a world title shot in 2020.
FRANK WARREN believes Joe Joyce will be challenging for the world heavyweight title inside a year. The fast rising Putney heavyweight isn’t messing around and defends his WBA Gold heavyweight crown against former world title challenger Bryant Jennings (24-3, 14KOs) at London’s o2 Arena on Saturday night (July 13), live on BT Sport.
Promoter Frank Warren has a big heavyweight showdown lined up for this coming Saturday night, for the British title at the O2 Arena in London. Both of the undefeated fighters are handled by Warren, who expects big things from both boxers in the future - regardless of the outcome.
Frank Warren, promoter of Anthony Yarde, says a deal to face WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev is just about finished up - which is going to be on a working date of August 24 in Russia. Yarde is the mandatory challenger to Kovalev's title - but the Russian boxer is also being pursued by the biggest name in the sport, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
Frank Warren, the lead promoter for heavyweight contender Tyson Fury, is hunting for an American opponent for his boxer's planned return at the end of the year. Fury made his Las Vegas debut last month, when he knocked out Tom Schwarz of Germany in two easy rounds at the MGM Grand.
OUR FISTIC FEAST at the o2 Arena on July 13 is about so much more than just the heavyweight offering we are serving up as the main course. We have also got a good few tasty little side dishes that will spice up the night. Of course, the clashes of the giants featuring Daniel Dubois vs Nathan Gorman with the British heavyweight title at stake, along with Joe Joyce entering into his toughest fight to date against Bryant Jennings will rightly dominate the build-up and capture the imagination ahead of a punch being thrown, but boxing fans will be aware that we have three genuine contenders and big talents taking the next step in their careers before the main events.
Frank Warren, lead promoter for heavyweight contender Tyson Fury, has no issue with making a fight against Jarrell Miller. Miller was ringside earlier this month, when Fury made his Las Vegas debut with a two round destruction of Tom Schwarz at the MGM Grand.
Frank Warren came out swinging in the direction of his promotional rival, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. Warren was fired up over some of the recent statements made by Hearn, who was somewhat critical of the recent Las Vegas debut of Tyson Fury. Fury, who Warren promotes, demolished no-hoper Tom Schwarz in two rounds at the MGM Grand.
We could not be completely sure over what we were going to get from Tom Schwarz at the MGM Grand. He is young, hungry and was unbeaten in 24 fights. Most importantly, he came to fight, which is why Tyson was able to put on a show. I can’t think of many other heavyweights who could live with Tyson on this form. True, some might take him a few more rounds but, when Tyson is on song – both during and after the fight – nobody can question that he rules the heavy mob.
SYDENHAM HEAVYWEIGHT PROSPECT Jonathan Palata has signed promotional terms with Frank Warren and will make his first appearance under the Queensberry Promotions banner at The O2, London on July 13.
