allegedly is claiming this on his website. Just a thought: does anyone know the last time a Sports Network fighter challenged for a European title (Krasniqi is European heavyweight champion)?
Because I don't.

A decade! This is outrageous. And Warren has the nerve to proclaim Joe Calzaghe the best pound for pound fighter in Europe!

Not sure if Wayne Alexander was with Warren when he won the European Junior-Middle title at the York Hall a couple of years back, I was at that fight.

allegedly is saying Peter Kohl wants to do business, that basically means he wants Skelton to fight Krasniqui in Germany under his terms. Warren wont stand for that and then Harrison will fight Skelton kick his fat ass, and then challenge Krasniqui and kick his ass and make allegedly look like the tit that he is.

Good knowledge Goz. I believe Johnny Nelson may also have won a European title under Warren's promotional reins. But it's still a ridiculously small number, given the number of fighters he promotes. His two biggest fighters, Hatton and Calzaghe, were steered well clear of the European title (and probably wouldn't have won it...I'm serious!) .

Thats because you have to fight in real fights if you win the European title.

Yeah allegedly is used to World title where he basically chooses the opponents. With the EBU the guys in Italy choose not the promoter. Thats probably what Warren doesnt like.
