By Marcus Richardson: Promoter Frank Warren says he rematch between IBF super middleweight champion Caleb ‘Golden’ Truax (29-3-2, 18 KOs) and former 168 lb. champion James ‘Chunky’ DeGale (23-2-1, 14 KOs) could wind up taking place in the U.S rather than the UK due to the money that Truax’s team wants for the fight.
By Tim Royner: Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren says the goal is to get the 29-year-old fighting 4 times in 2018 to get him back to the form he was in the past. Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) hasn’t fought in close to 3 years since 2015.
By Tim Royner: Promoter Frank Warren says the purse split for the Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight should be 50-50 right down the middle for the super-fight in the UK. Fury, 29, currently wants a 60-40 deal for the Joshua fight, but that’s not sitting too well for AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn.
By Marcus Richardson: Promoter Frank Warren is applying for former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s boxing license to get him back into the ring and fighting, according to ESPN. Warren reportedly has a chance to be Fury’s promoter when he does return to action. Fury hasn’t fought for 2 years, and he currently is unlicensed following a positive drug test in 2015.
By Marcus Richardson: Naoya ‘Monster’ Inoue (15-0, 13 KOs) has the option of fighting for the WBO bantamweight title right away against champion Zolani Tete (26-3, 21 KOs) when he moves up to the 118-lb. division this year.
By Marcus Richardson: Promoter Frank Warren says he thinks his heavyweight 20-year-old Daniel Dubois (6-0, 6 KOs) already hits harder than IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs), and he has more potential than him.
By Tim Royner: WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders will be fighting an opponent still to be determined in the spring of next year, according to his promoter Frank Warren. He wants the Saul Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin winner for Saunders. However, that fight won’t take place until May 5, 2018, and that leaves Saunders with a lot of free time while he waits for the outcome of that mega-fight.
By Scott Gilfoid: Promoter Frank Warren doesn’t think it’s time yet for James ‘Chunky’ DeGale (23-2-2, 14 KOs) to retire from boxing following his loss to Caleb Truax (29-3-2, 18 KOs) last Saturday night.
By Scott Gilfoid: British promoter Frank Warren says he wants to see IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs), because it’s a fight involving 2 big guys with a ton of punching power.
By Juan Flores: Promoter Frank Warren saw a lot of flaws in the game of IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (20-0, 20 KOs) last Saturday night with his 10th round knockout of replacement opponent Carlos Takam (35-4-1, 27 KOs). Warren thinks it’s unfair to Joshua for him to be compared to Muhammad Ali by some boxing fans.
