Frank Warren reacts after Tyson Fury teases ‘big announcement’ with Dana White

Frank Warren has shared his reaction after Tyson Fury revealed a “gigantic announcement” with Dana White is imminent.

Warren spent several years as Fury’s promoter, helping guide him back to the world heavyweight title during an epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder, before defending the title in UK stadium fights against Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora.

Fury’s last few fights have been facilitated by Turki Alalshikh, and that will be the case again this year when “The Gypsy King” faces his long-awaited clash with compatriot Anthony Joshua.

A fresh twist emerged this week when Fury appeared at a UFC White House event and teased a potential deal with Zuffa Boxing boss White, even though Eddie Hearn claimed the contract for the Joshua fight stipulated that White could not promote the fight.

This was also reported recently that Las Vegas is the current favorite to host the fight, sparking anger among British fight fans.

Warren has now I talked to TalkSport about all the recent drama, emphasizing that he is still linked to Fury and that nothing has been decided yet as to where the fight will take place.

“Tyson has not signed a contract with anyone. I have a contract with him at the moment, which I am very ecstatic with, and our business relationship has been very good and continues to be good. I have no problems.

“The promoter of the last few fights was: [Turki]that’s where the money to promote the programs came from, nothing has changed. Life goes on as normal.

“We don’t know yet [where it will be]. Nothing has been decided yet. It would be great to be in the UK, there are two Brits where there should be.

Before their clash later in the year, Joshua must first defeat Kristian Prenga in July, while Fury is also scheduled to fight in August, with details of that fight expected to be released soon.

Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz could soon have his next fight lined up.

Bravo (24-1, 17 KOs) has quietly worked his way into contention with a string of victories since suffering the lone defeat of his career. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican would receive the biggest opportunity of his professional career against the former world champion.

Cruz (28-3-1, 18 KOs) is looking to reestablish himself in the title picture after losing his WBA light welterweight title to Jose Valenzuela in August 2024. The popular Mexican rebounded by stopping Angel Fierro in their rematch earlier this year and remains one of boxing’s most aggressive pressure fighters.

A Mexico vs. Puerto Rico matchup has long been one of boxing’s most marketable rivalries, making the proposed fight an attractive addition to the September schedule if contracts are finalized.

Rodriguez also noted that Arizona and California remain the leading venue options. Reports circulating on social media have linked the date to other bouts, including a proposed IBF bantamweight title fight between Jose “Chapulín” Salas and Michael Angeletti, though those plans have not been officially confirmed either.

Pitbull Cruz will be defending his WBC interim light welterweight title, while Bravo has an opportunity to claim the biggest victory of his career.

Carl Froch Evaluates Conor Benns Odds Against Ryan Garcia Before Fight Announcement

Carl Froch Evaluates Conor Benn's Odds Against Ryan Garcia Before Fight Announcement

Carl Froch has assessed the chances of Conor Benn pulling off a sizable upset against Ryan Garciawho he is expected to face in September.

Their welterweight showdown was reportedly set to be announced on Friday, with Dana White inviting both fighters to the stage at a UFC weigh-in.

According to boxing journalist Dan Rafael, however, there are still some issues that must be ironed out on Garcia’s sidewhich concern the involvement of DAZN and Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy.

Benn, meanwhile, has reportedly completed his side of the agreement to challenge for Garcia’s WBC world title in Las Vegas on September 12.

The 29-year-old signed with White’s Zuffa Boxing earlier this year, before unanimously outpointing a faded Regis Prograis over 10 rounds in April.

Yet it seems the promotional and broadcast situation for his clash with Garcia – expected to be streamed on Netflix – is far from straightforward, being that the WBC champion seemingly has an existing contract with Golden Boy and DAZN.

If it does go ahead, though, then Froch has suggested on his YouTube channel that Garcia would prove too skilled for his less proven opponent, giving Benn just a 30% chance of victory.

“This one is exciting, because you get to find out where Conor Benn belongs. Does he belong at world level?

“Ryan Garcia … Would you say he’s an elite-level champion? He’s been down, he’s been beat, [but] you’ve got to say he’s world-class.

“So this is a massive step-up for Conor Benn. I’m not sure it’s the fight he will win. He probably can win it, if he gets the tactics right, but it’s a really tough ask.

“He’s the underdog – he’s probably 70/30 against.”

Garcia claimed his WBC title by dethroning Mario Barrioswho he floored in the opening round before winning their February encounter by unanimous decision.

Tony Bellew Warns Moses Itauma to Steer Clear of One Heavyweight: Dont Go Near Him

"Tony Bellew Warns Moses Itauma to Steer Clear of One Heavyweight: 'Don't Go Near Him'"

Tony Bellew has advised Moses Itauma against facing an opponent who, based on his superior experience, could become the first man to drag him into deep waters.

The heavyweight prodigy already has his hands full, of course, as he will face seasoned veteran Filip Hrgovic at London’s O2 Arena on August 29.

On paper, this is undoubtedly his toughest test thus far, with Hrgovic’s only professional defeat having come via an eighth-round stoppage against Daniel Dubois in June 2024.

Itauma, on the other hand, has never made it past six rounds, but was close to doing so before dispatching Jermaine Franklin with a fifth-round finish in March.

Having cemented himself as a formidable knockout artist, the 21-year-old is now ranked No.1 with both the WBO and WBA, seemingly closing in on a major opportunity.

According to former world champion Bellew, though, the talented southpaw should steer well clear of Oleksandr Usykwho relinquished his WBC, IBF and WBA belts last month.

Even at the age of 39, and after having to grind out a 11th-round stoppage against Rico Verhoeven in May, the Ukrainian is still the lineal heavyweight champion and, more generally, a generational great.

For this reason, Bellew has told Fight Your Corner that, even at this stage in their careers, Itauma is not ready for an elite competitor like Usyk.

“Moses [shouldn’t] go near him at the minute. I think that it would be absolutely insane to throw Moses Itauma into [an] Usyk [fight] after not going past six [rounds] yet.

“Would you throw a fighter like that in with someone like [Usyk]? [Usyk’s] game plan would be, ‘I have only got to see past six rounds with you, kid. I am going to take you to places that you have never been’.”

While a matchup between Usyk and Itauma has been widely discussed, it does appear that the two southpaws will ultimately go their separate ways.
