W@rren has always tried built his fighters the right way.
British - Commonwealth - European - World.
I much prefer that route to Hearns silver and international title routes...

The end game with both is mandatory title shots and ppv fights, how they get there doesn't matter.

I am old fashioned and like boxers to take the traditional route.

That is the way I would like to do it if I was in their position - I would love be to say I was British champion as opposed to inter continental silver champion or whatever - I wonder if boxers feel the same after they have retired?

When Warren had Sky it was WBU on every show mate.

If you have 3-4 world champions it's important to bulk up a undercard with British title fights.

He's got some good in house fights now.

OK.
British - Commonwealth - European - WBU (now WBO).
WBU Silver-Intercontinental Title was pretty prestigious if I recall...

Completely agree with this, as much as he's been inactive since winning the world title, BJS went from Southern Area right through the ranks & it's good to see.

For these sort of belts whether it be Southern Area or European, you've got two guys going at it who want to win. It's too easy these days to get some knock over job from South America but defend your fringe belt at the same time.

Speaking purely in commercial terms, if this is the sort of fighter Warren is going to snare then I can't see Fast Eddie filling his underpants just yet.

I think Fwank would be chomping at the bit to wheel out anyone who, broadly speaking, has defected, in terms of moving from Sky Sports to Bo x N ation. A bit of symbolism before Joshua defects

Light-Middle is a competitive domestic scene for W@rren.
Liam Smith, Liam Williams and Ahmet Patterson. Time to mix and match these 3 and see who comes out on top...

Warringtons dad was sat next to Frank at the cardiff show.......

To be fair he's mixed Williams with Corcoran who before that fight you would have probably included in that list and tried to mix Williams / Patterson. Think the idea was winner fights Liam Smith not sure how they'll play it yet Williams v Smith?

Frank's mixed quite a few of his own recently, last year he put in Blackledge and Markham, he's also done Flanagan Matthews and had matched Miles Shinkwin and Tom Baker until the latter pulled out.

I'm a big fan of the traditional route, you'll always see two guys in the ring who want to win, all too often we see puddings brought over and rarely throw a punch back, it's boring and doesn't do the home fighters any good.

that's it, if these guys are really that valuable would Eddie be letting them go?
Nurse isn't a big ticket seller and I doubt he does good numbers tv wise.
W@rren should spend his new found money on big names like DeGale and Selby and build his own Tyrone Nurses...

Josh Warrington?

Warrington is definitely somebody W@rren should be chasing.
Big ticket seller, BN can put shows on in Leeds and build a base there and Josh is all set for fights with Frampton and Selby, 2 other fighters W@rren should be in close contact with...

He's got Nurse to put on the undercard, I've heard Kid Galahad will sign as well as Isaac Lowe, who is very close to the Warrington camp. All decent signings by Frank.
