According to promoter Frank Warren, who handles Tyson Fury, the first press conference for the highly anticipated showdown with WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will take place on Monday, with the media event likely to produce fireworks after months of build-up.
IT IS TAKE two for the biggest fight in world boxing this weekend when the long-awaited rematch between Saul Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin lands in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. The pair created a very special event a year ago at the same venue and it was such a shame that such a sizzling occasion that lived up to its billing was diminished by, to put it kindly, erratic scoring by two of the judges.
Multi-year licensing agreement will bring the best events from the UK and Europe to boxing fans in the United States and Canada on the ESPN family of networks. Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions and Top Rank are proud to announce an exclusive, landmark multi-year licensing agreement that will bring the best events from the United Kingdom and Europe to boxing fans in the United States and Canada.
TYSON FURY HAD absolutely no hesitation in agreeing to do what the great fighters do. That is to readily accept the challenge of taking on the best out there in the biggest fight there to be made. Jumping back in at the deep end against the unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder just two fights into his comeback after some two and a half years out of the ring speaks volumes for the man and the competitor inside of him.
THE GREEN-EYED MONSTERS are on the prowl. As expected there is some dissing from certain quarters over the upcoming world heavyweight blockbuster between WBC champion Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. But don’t listen to those knockers who are grinding their teeth as well as their axes. This fight is definitely, one hundred percent ON.
After the success of his promotion at Windsor Park earlier this month Frank Warren says he hopes to put on more outdoor shows at the venue, next year and beyond. On August 18 Carl Frampton realised a lifelong dream by boxing at Windsor Park, in front of 25,000 fans, against Australia’s Luke Jackson. And even after the heavens opened later that night the spirits of his loyal fans could not be dampened as they roared their man on to a dominant performance, ending in a ninth-round stoppage.
A FANTASTIC EVENING was had by nearly all on Saturday and it was one of those nights where we had our fingers firmly crossed that all the pieces would fall into place to pave the way for some spectacular fight nights before the end of the year. Our headliner Carl Frampton, in front of his adoring Belfast public at Windsor Park, did his bit in some style against the very game Aussie Luke Jackson. Carl looked a class apart and quite possibly in the best nick of his career.
Frank Warren talks - Tyson Fury will challenge WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas in November after easing to a 10-round victory over Francesco Pianeta at Belfast’s Windsor Park. The 30-year-old needed only to defeat his overmatched opponent to secure the ambitious fight, which will represent only the third since his comeback began in June, and was afterwards joined in the ring by the powerful American where both fighters and promoter Frank Warren confirmed they will meet.
Wilder was ringside at Windsor Park as Fury fought on the undercard for Carl Frampton versus Luke Jackson, with a dominant 100-90 points win secured before the expected announcement was made in the ring. The American had seemingly been set to take on Anthony Joshua before negotiations broke down and Fury stepped up.
Carl Frampton makes it clear whenever he is asked that the fight he wants most is a rubber match with Leo Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz avenged his majority-decision defeat to Frampton in July 2016 by defeating Frampton by majority decision in their 12-round rematch in January 2017. Northern Ireland’s Frampton wants to avenge his lone loss against the WBA featherweight champion and also would welcome shots at WBO champ Oscar Valdez (24-0, 19 KOs) or WBC champ Gary Russell Jr. (29-1, 17 KOs).
