Will the BBBoC stand up to FW in allowing him to put an unlicensed contest on a licensed bill??

[FIGHTFANs]

The BBBoC will ban fw they wont allow this fight.

Maybe he will start up a new company, Sports Network Promotions Luxembourg, not pay anyone, fold the company and carry on as normal!

[Brute]

Is there enough room to put up a full sized boxing ring in that postage stamp duchy?

Though I shouldn't laugh too much as probably close to the truth

One of the reasons for the few results is that their name isnt Luxembourg boxing association, try Fédération Luxembourgeoise de Boxe instead.

This made me laugh

"Warren added he would not be taking a commission from Chisora for the fight, but would make money as a "shareholder" in the allegedly subscription channel that will air the fight."

"Warren added he would not be taking a commission from Chisora for the fight, but would make money as a "shareholder" in the Allegedly Channel subscription channel that will air the fight."

That made me laugh to.I was listening to him being interviewed on Radio 4 this morning and he kept on going on about how Chisora was not banned and kept on trying to dodge the question over whether he was going to be making any money from the fight, because previously he had said he would not touch the fight.

It will be interesting to see if there is a fall out with the BBBC over this.

More seriously, why is Haye taking this fight? Is he hoping to flatten Chisora and increase demand for the Vitali fight or because the the Klitchko fight isn't going to happen?

[smoggy7188]

Im guessing the Klits wont fight Haye unless he beats Chisora which i guess is fair enough. Chisora wins and he will probably get the winner of Povetkin/Rahmam.

Does this Luxembourg license thing set a dangerous precedent for the future? If you can't get licensed by the BBBofC will everyone be running across to that boxing hotbed to obtain one from there?
As much as I'm excited by a Haye v Chisora fight (yes, really!) I'm not sure that the way it has been done sits comfortably with me.

[Asterix]

Forgetting the circumstances and the drama, this is a fight I can really look forward to.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Chisora has showed the better chin taking a flush 1-2 from haye already and you can 2/1 on him

[revporl]

Oh god this is dreadful on so many levels. Also, does this mean that Mitchel/Burns ie a proper interesting boxing match is not happening on that date?

[oliverfennell]

Bloody Luxembourgians, come over here, stage all our fights...

[fatcity69]

Frwanks lack of respect for the BBBC would be funny if it wasnt so alarming and bad for British boxing as a whole, he is basically pissing on the reputation of British boxing here(what is left of it!) if the board do not do something to try and stop this 'fight' then they may as well hang up their gloves and let Frwank alone to run the show. Thats basically what he is doing already with this fight, showing that he rather than the board runs British boxing. Im not usually one to get holier than though but this situation really sickens me, nowonder the general public has no respect for boxing anymore.

[Bard of Boxrec]

What has been the highest profile fight in Luxembourg?

I feel like Chisora might take this one. I think Haye will be discouraged by Chisora's toughness, I just see it as really unlikely that Haye can bomb him out and Chisora will be in his face all night. If Haye struggled with Fragomeni, what's Chisora going to do to him? Chisora is a much better version of Frag.

[The Insider]

It will be interesting to see how the BBBoC play this. In my view, they must take a very robust stance and stick to it. If they play it meek, their credibility will be shot to pieces.

X2 on that.

There are already a few things afoot regarding white collar and unlicensed boxing that the board need to deal with aside from this FW debacle. It couldn't have come at a worse time for the board. As I've said in a previous post the Board need to be recognised in parliament the same way as the F.A are for football, so that any unlicensed event not sanctioned by them is effectively illegal. I have no idea how this will play out but can only see it hurting the boards reputation if they fold to FW, or their pockets if they ban/discipline one of their biggest bread winners.

Seriously though, this, if it happens, could be make or break for the BBBoC.

"Before anyone starts screaming let me point out the Luxembourg Boxing association was formed in 1922, seven years before the british board." A fine quote of Frank defending his stance.
