Tyson Fury, Ricky Hatton, and other major names who have been promoted by Frank Warren
Frank Warren is currently enjoying himself as he continues to deliver big fights for his thriving stable as well as developing a number of quality prospects.
The Hall of Fame promoter is about to kick off a new phase in his life as he brings his stacked roster of fighters to DAZN.
Warren has been at the centre of some of Brutish boxing’s biggest ever fight nights as he has regularly delivered high profile clashes featuring some huge names.
Here, DAZN News looks back at some of the best fighters he has ever promoted.

Making his debut in 1993 on the undercard of Lennox Lewis’ world title defence against Frank Bruno, Joe Calzaghe got an early taste for the big shows that he would later headline.
Finishing his career unbeaten after achieving many great feats at super-middleweight and light-heavyweight, Calzaghe, guided by Warren for the bulk of his career, enjoyed many great nights.
Monumental wins over the likes of Bernard Hopkins, Chris Eubank, and Jeff Lacy ensured Calzaghe would always be remembered as one of British boxing’s most iconic fighters.

Perhaps the highlight of Warren’s promotional career was making Naseem Hamed a major attraction in America.
Hamed’s unorthodox approach was not for everyone at the start of his career, but Warren was a big admirer and with his backing, the Sheffield man soon became world champion.
His 1997 breakout performance in New York City against Kevin Kelley was one of the best fights ever staged at Madison Square Garden and it made America take notice of a fighter who would headline there frequently before his final fight in 2002.

Frank Warren was repeatedly told he could not build a star on subscription TV, but Ricky Hatton was all the proof he needed.
The Manchester boxer became a working-class hero in the early 2000s as his profile soared when he became world champion against Kostya Tszyu in 2005.
Despite splitting with Warren shortly after that fight, Hatton would still feature in major fights as he shared the ring with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
Frank Bruno
Arguably Britain’s most loved fighter, Frank Bruno’s journey to become heavyweight champion was a frustrating one until Frank Warren delivered him a huge opportunity.
Headlining at Wembley Stadium in 1995 against Oliver McCall, Bruno’s dreams finally came true as he won on the scorecards to finally become ruler.
Bruno would lose the belt in his first defence when going down to Mike Tyson for a second time the following year, but his performance at Wembley is perhaps the greatest night in British boxing history.

Seemingly retired following a long battle with depression and weight issues, Tyson Fury’s initial world title run appeared to be a brief one until he was brought back into action by Frank Warren.
Three years after defeating Wladimir Klitschko, Fury was ready to become champion again and that almost happened after he climbed off the floor twice to rescue a draw with Deontay Wilder.
Fury would beat the American in 2020 before embarking on a memorable run that eventually saw him defeated twice by Oleksandr Usyk whilst aiming to become undisputed ruler.
