As an old fritter in professional boxing, Frank Warren, a British tournament promoter known as The European Tonkin, never ties himself to a tree.
Recently, Eddie Hearn, the tournament promoter at The Athletic Room Boxing Promotion Company, announced that he had made a "very tempting offer" to Frank Warren to match his famous boxer Joshua Buatsi and Frank Warren's former World Champion challenger Anthony Yarde. Eddie Hearne also told the media that if this match can be held smoothly, it will definitely be a light heavyweight showdown that can shock the whole of Britain.
In frank warren's case, it is not at all as high-profile as Eddie Hearn. In the interview, Frank Warren admitted that he did receive an offer from Eddie Hearne, but the offer seemed to him to be very decent, arguably far below the level he had hoped for. Therefore, he told reporters that Eddie Hearn's performance in front of the media was completely a show, and the purpose was to hype.
In an interview with an IFL reporter, Frank Warren quipped, "Eddie Herne did send me an offer, but what he said about the game was completely different from what I imagined." You know, Anthony Yard only finished playing in December, so we had plenty of time to think about it. ”
In fact, there's a reason Frank Warren isn't in a hurry. Because news has come out from within the WBO that anthony Yardard is about to be officially appointed as the world champion who has just defended his title , Joe Smith Jr. 's boxing title mandatory challenger. Although Jo Smith Jr.'s tournament promoter Joe DeGadia hopes his boxers will be able to fight the world boxing champions with two other lightweights, Artur Beitbiev and Dmitry Biwall. But with Joe DeGadia's influence, it seems difficult to hinder Frank Warren's operations.
Given Anthony Yard's current position at WBO, Frank Warren would never risk letting Anthony Yard play some inconsequential match that would jeopardize Anthony Yard's qualification for world boxing.
Frank Warren told reporters: "Theoretically, Anthony Yard is now Joe Smith Jr.'s legal challenger. So don't expect us Anthony Yard to give up that position. I have no problem with Joshua Buassi as a boxer, but he doesn't have the chips to challenge Anthony Yard right now. ”
Frank Warren also stressed to reporters: "In short, we are still executing according to the previously established plan, allowing Anthony Yard to defeat Lyndon Arthur, securing the right to challenge the WBO World Boxing Champion and fighting for Joe Smith Jr." Now, we don't have any deviations in the implementation plan. I'm confident that Anthony Yard will win the Title of World Champion, and when Anthony Yard becomes the new light heavyweight world champion at WBO, I don't mind having him fight Joshua Buassi in a world champion title, which is no problem at all, and I believe that the match will be what Eddie Hearn has expressed – a light heavyweight showdown that can shock the whole of Britain.
