Man, Frank really has it coming from all angles at the mo. Now threatening to sue Sky if they televise Bellew on the Brook v Jones undercard.

In a nutshell, that is the problem with boxing today. Promoters and TV having too much power and the boxers themselves being powerless. Now watch Bellew's career go in freefall if he can't get rid of Warren.

I think Bellew will sort it out in the end. He is pretty savy, probably end up with Matchroom buying him out of FW contract

Maybe so, but elevate that to a more popular and better boxer. What price a contract buy out and if the rival promoter is not willing to pay the price set? Its a joke. Boxers should be able to fight who they want and make decisions that benefit themselves as they are the ones risking everything.

I agree, but this is the nature of the beast, sadly

And what choice does the boxer have? Zero. Hence my use of the term "slave contract".

He has, I think, a years contract left with Frank, bt he wants out and to go to matchroom. Bellew is big mates with Froch and he hasn't been active under FW. This will end in a buy out.

Warren can keep him back for the next 12 months. Bellew's not getting any younger and has about 3 years left in him.
