Frank Warren on talk sport earlier was not letting anything slip
All I got from it was until the venue/PPV was sorted out no deal would be tabled - so they've committed to fight but the details are lagging - he didn't directly point the finger at Eddie (and we all know he would in a heartbeat if the opposition were stalling)
That was my take of it, but I was busy trying to navigate the M42 so might have missed something inferred

My take is that when Fury signed with Top Rank it meant that Warren took a big back seat - even a place in the boot! So he try’s to make out he’s playing his cards close to his chest, when in reality it’s Arum who’s making all the decisions and calling the shots. Warren gets to handle some nonspecific U.K. organising. If I’ve got that wrong - more than happy to be enlightened.

Think you're probably right, Warren's really just there to deal with BT now. That said, for this fight he'll have a bit of work to do given AJ and Matchroom fight on Sky.Pugaris said:

I am told it’s a good documentary
Watched it yesterday (Frank Warren documentary on BT Sport).Didn't know the story about the Cartel he competed against, was an OK watch.
Regarding the above, Frank Warren seems to be underrated, he has been around a long time and is self made.

I would put my money on Eddie playing games. A fighter won't be able to fully focus on training till the deal is signed, and the shorter the camp for Fury, the better for AJ.All I got from it was until the venue/PPV was sorted out no deal would be tabled - so they've committed to fight but the details are lagging - he didn't directly point the finger at Eddie (and we all know he would in a heartbeat if the opposition were stalling)

Dubois v Dinu announced.
Perfectly acceptable comeback contest but shouldn’t be for the WBA interim title.
I think it’s time to forget about the WBA as a legit sanctioning body. They’re an absolute joke. If I announced I was turning pro and boxing you on the moon they’d follow up announcing the WBA moon belt Perfectly acceptable comeback contest but shouldn’t be for the WBA interim title.

So Joe Joyce beats Dubois and has to fight Usyk to become a mandatory for a world title and Dubois has the same opportunity but against Dinu? Sport is an absolute joke sometimes.Perfectly acceptable comeback contest but shouldn’t be for the WBA interim title.

Meh, I’d box you for a WBA belt regardless.The WBO Global is an odd one too but I’d have boxed for one.

Has Dubois changed anything? Trainer and so on.
Or does he consider the Joyce loss a blip
He's with Tibbs now isn't he?Or does he consider the Joyce loss a blip
As Dubois may learn to move a little more.
Or on second thoughts, he may pickup some bad habits from Billy
