Warrior's Boxing are responsible for part of the bid - the winning bid, made by Warren.

I guess that makes Warrior's co-promoters. Okay, what have they done to promote?

Does this make Johnson more likely to get a decision? is the promotion going to be lopsided for Johnson/against Woods?

We all know when something BIG hinges on the favored son winning, that judges can be off kilter with their scoring i.e. Sturm-De La Hoya leading to one of the biggest fights of the last few years, Hopkins-DLH.

We know that Johnson will get a fight with Calzaghe if he wins.

Johnson has been anounced as the "house fighter" & will "fight out of the home corner".

Hmmm Warren is a Sports Network favourite, not sure about the other two. I'm not suggesting anything untoward though don't get me wrong. Didn't he ref about 10 Hatton fights on the trot?

Mickey Vann's from Leeds, not far from Sheffield though. Maybe Vann is the 'concessionary' scorer
