FRANK WARREN is our Guest Columnist in this week’s issue of Boxing News magazine. This is out now on our app and the print version is in stores on Thursday (March 10). Here is an excerpt, addressing Chris Eubank Jnr and Snr, and Dan Rafael.
AS for the Eubanks, they’re nuts, complete idiots. How can you be offered seven times what you’re getting to fight for the British title, to fight for the world title, and you don’t take it? It’s a backward step. His dad is impossible to deal with. There’s no logic there.
