		For Warren, who has been a promoter since 1980 and has promoted in excess of 200 world title fights, this is a return to ITV where he brought the biggest names including Nigel Benn, Frank Bruno and Naseem Hamed who's fights were in the top five sporting programmes for 1995 in terms of television ratings.

	Sport \| Interview: Frank Warren
		Frank Warren just needs to turn up as himself - a man who has survived four bullets from a 9mm pistol, a $12m hit from Don King, a courtroom battle with the VAT man and a showdown with a demented Mike Tyson to remain the master of boxing promotion in this country.
		Warren held Khan's hand high in an imperious stroll around the ring, which was greeted by a foot-stomping ovation.
		Warren has kept his distance while the Amateur Boxing Association has struggled to improve its offer of a £40,000 grant, to persuade Khan that his preference to win an Olympic title before turning pro can be attained without undue economic strain.

	Hummer's In The United Kingdom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The boxing promoter is used to keeping company with large, powerful characters such as Frank Bruno or Mike Tyson, but despite the name and impressive credentials, Hummer is a new addition to Warren's garage, not his team of professional boxers.
		Not that Warren is unused to big cars he's come a long way since he bought a Mini as his first but the luxury military vehicle must look at odds alongside his Bentley, Aston Martin and Austin Healey.
		Warren drives this 5.7-litre V8 petrol model every day; it can cruise at up to 90mph, but at best it can achieve only 12mpg; use a lot of throttle and it drops to 7mpg.

		The promoter, in turn, is reluctant to part with nearly half a million pounds for absolutely nothing.
		Warren was able to tempt him back this time with the promise of an $8m purse (Savarese's cut is just $850,000, barely enough to buy Tyson a set of cufflinks).

		Warren, who is organising Tyson's January 29 bout against Julius Francis in Manchester, denied the two-day furore had handed him welcome publicity.
		Warren said he had since received a letter from Labour press secretary Alastair Campbell denying he had informed the media at a political briefing that Tyson would not be allowed into the country.
		In the letter, Warren said Campbell blamed the confusion on a news agency report which quoted him as saying Tyson had 'very little chance of entering the UK' when in fact he was simply outlining the legal hurdles.

	Boxing: It’s the Frank Warren, Joe Calzaghe and WBO Sideshow
		Warren’s interests in boxing are predominantly, cash-related, his ethos is simple, protect the investment, the hell with the reviews.
		Frank had it all sewn-up, owning almost all of the product, and finding cheap and unimaginative ways to peddle it, often adding vacant low-rent ‘world’ titles to spice up shows that all too often lacked substance, but had the mass market appeal, local lads, fighting foreign journeymen in front of rabid partisans.
		Whatever one thinks of Warren, when it comes to Joe, I stopped blaming Frank Warren a long time ago; the man responsible for Joe Calzaghe’s lack of respect in the trade is none other than, Joe Calzaghe.

		Warren is also concerned over the difficulty with which Arthur made the weight for Saturday's fight, something that may have affected his performance.
		Dave, Warren is a strange character, I dont dislike him as much as king but I do feel he holds fighters back to line his own pocket(by keeping the gravytrain rolling) At least King puts on decent matches.Warren needs to take a few risks with his fighters and put there wishes before his sometimes.

	B D P : FRANK WARREN REPORT
		A former promoter of unlicensed shows, Warren got involved in British boxing in the early 1980’s where he swiftly challenged rules of convention and custom and forced the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) to give in and make the sport a more open and competitive business.
		Warren was hit in the chest by a bullet, which narrowly missed his heart, as he stepped out of his Bentley outside the Broadway Theatre.
		Losing £7.5million was bad enough, but Warren was then chased by the VAT man for an alleged £2million tax fraud, and to cap it all, his relationship with Hamed turned sour.
