Paul Smith Announces He Has Left Warren

Statement released by Paul Smith on Twitter below:

"It is not without some considerable sadness and regret that I have to announce that as at Friday 1st November 2013 I ended all contractual relations with Frank Warren and any of his companies.
I apologise to fans for the fact that in the circumstances I will not be fighting at the echo arena on 7th December 2013.
On advice from my legal team I also regret that at this point in time I cannot comment further. Thank you."



You probably know my thoughts on this so I won't bore you repeating them.

*stnds ny for big Matchroom announcement*

Shambles

I think everyone has realised they have no stability with Warren after he's dissolved yet another company which probably created a loophole in allowing everyone to leave if they wished.

Warren has released a statement too, in the interests of fairness could somebody please post it.

Frank Warren's statement on Paul Smiths status:


"Following a statement released today by Paul Smith on social network site, Twitter, claiming that he has terminated his Agreements with Frank Warren and his companies, his registered manager Frank Warren has issued the following statement:

"Paul Smith has an existing and binding 'Approved Boxer/Manager Agreement' in place with me and also an exclusive Promotional Agreement with Queensberry Promotions Ltd. He has no grounds toterminate either Agreement and neither has he even sent a letter of termination to Queensberry Promotions Ltd. However, if he feels he does have grounds, the procedures he must follow are clearly set out in both Agreements.

I am particularly disappointed by Paul Smith's behaviour as he has never contacted me to express any discontent whatsoever despite being managed by me for 10 years, 36 contests and two reigns as British Champion. I have always enjoyed an excellent relationship with him."

Needless to say, Mr. Warren will defend his rights as the manager and Queensberry Promotions Ltd as the exclusive promoter of Mr. Smith.

Mr Smith Agreed terms to box on 7th December against Luke Blackledge at the Echo Arena and sanction for the bout and properly executed agreements by the registered managers of both Boxers have been lodged and accepted by the BBBofC. Should Mr Smith not fulfil his obligations then needless to say further action with be taken to seek substantial damages."

I'm glad because I love Eddie Hearn........I think he's the greatest thiong that's ever happened to Boxing.......He's wonderful..
