FRANK WARREN PARTNERS WITH THE BBC FOR EXCLUSIVE RADIO RIGHTS OF TYSON FURY’S COMEBACK FIGHT Frank Warren has partnered with the BBC for exclusive radio rights to Tyson Fury’s highly-anticpated comeback fight against Sefer Seferi at the Manchester Arena on June 9. Former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion Fury will end an exile of over two-and-a-half years when he fights at the Manchester Arena for the first time in his career. Fellow Mancunian Terry Flanagan bids to become the city’s first ever two-weight World Champion when he takes on unbeaten American Maurice Hooker for the Vacant WBO Super-Lightweight crown. The BBC’s multi-event deal with Warren got underway with memorable coverage of Carl Frampton’s brilliant performance against four-weight World Champion and Filipino legend Nonito Donaire at the SSE Arena in Belfast last month. ‘The Jackal’ earned the WBO interim Featherweight belt with a classy win over Donaire in front of an electric sell-out crowd and set up his dream summer Windsor Park fight in doing so. Frampton and his trainer Jamie Moore then swapped the canvas for the radio mic alongside Mike Costello to provide commentary for Josh Warrington’s historic World Title win over long-standing rival Lee Selby at Elland Road last week. Warrington stunned the boxing World by becoming the first man from Leeds to win a World Title in front of over 20,000 fans at the home of his beloved Leeds United. And now Costello and his team turn their attention to the Manchester Arena as Fury looks to begin his rise back to the very top of the Heavyweight division. Frank Warren: “I’m delighted to partner with the BBC for exclusive radio commentary on one of the most eagerly- anticipated comeback fights of all time. This is even more brilliant news for fight fans following the success of our first two events with the BBC. We’ve already delivered two memorable nights and on June 9 I’m predicting even more fireworks when the big man finally gets himself back in the ring and under the lights.” Ben Gallop, Head of BBC Radio and Digital Sport, said: “Tyson Fury’s comeback fight promises to be a fantastic occasion. We’re delighted to have added his homecoming bout in Manchester in June, as well as his second fight, to our multi- event deal with Frank Warren. With exclusive commentary on BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website, boxing fans won’t miss a moment of the action.”.

Jamie Moore: Still the Fighter's Fighter
Jamie Moore: Still the Fighter’s Fighter By Caryn A. Tate on November 4, 2017 “I’m lucky, I’m privileged, to be able to work with good fighters.” (Martin Rickett/PA Wire) “I’m getting to work with some terrific fighters—Martin Murray, Tommy Coyle, Rocky Fielding, Carl Frampton…these are real top-class fighters…” In boxing, being a good trainer is a delicate and difficult balancing act. A coach must inspire, motivate, and teach—and know when the time is right for each of those talents. But he must also understand everything from frequently overlooked intangibles in a fighter’s style to the deepest regions of his fighter’s personality. For some fighters, there is no better chief second than someone who was a fighter himself— particularly if that former fighter was also a fantastic boxer with a gift for breaking down instruction and clearly articulating a boxers’ strengths and weaknesses. Jamie Moore is such a trainer. A former boxer from Salford, Greater Manchester, he developed a rabid fanbase and earned a living legend status in the UK for his gutsy yet highly skilled performances. Moore now finds himself helping other fighters navigate the complexity of their boxing careers, and he prides himself on creating a positive, enjoyable atmosphere in his gym. “I’ve created a nice, laid back sort of environment,” Jamie said. “Boxing’s such a tough sport, especially in the top end. My big thing in my gym is if you’re enjoying what you’re doing, then it makes it so much easier. So we create a good atmosphere.

Moore Makes a Stand – Bans Steve Wood from His Own Gym!
MOORE MAKES A STAND – BANS STEVE WOOD FROM HIS OWN GYM! Jamie Moore has been placed in the awkward position of having to ban the landlord of his gym from entering the premises until the big business of the December 22 blockbuster between Josh Warrington and Carl Frampton is completed. Moore, the trainer of Frampton, conducts his training sessions in a gym owned by Steve Wood situated on the site of Wood’s VIP company. The Salford-based businessman also happens to be the manager of Josh Warrington, who defends his IBF world featherweight title at the Manchester Arena, live on BT Sport Box Office. Wood is known to pop down from his office to take in a bit of sparring during his downtime but, with the obvious conflict of interest, Moore has had to take a stand and impose a suspension. “I have had to ban Steve Wood out of his own gym for this fight because he’s not allowed to come and watch the sparring,” reported Moore, whose career was also managed by Wood. “He’s right next door, but for the next three months he’s got to ring me first to make sure the coast is clear.” IBF world featherweight champion Josh Warrington takes on former two-weight world champion Carl Frampton at the Manchester Arena on December 22nd live on BT Sport Box Office. JJ Metcalf will defend his WBC International super- welterweight title against Liam Williams in support of the main event, while Mark Heffron will challenge for the British middleweight title. Belfast’s blue chip featherweight prospect Michael Conlan (9-0) also features on the bill along with world flyweight title challenger Paddy Barnes (5-1) and unbeaten Light Heavyweight contender Steven Ward (9-0).

COMMONWEALTH BOXING COUNCIL BULLETIN 25Th October 2018
COMMONWEALTH BOXING COUNCIL BULLETIN 25th October 2018 Here, as follows, is a brief resume of CBC activity over the last couple of months, not including Championship results and forthcoming Championships which can be found on our website at www.commbc.com :- CBC AGM, NURSTEAD COURT, KENT. 27TH/28TH SEPTEMBER For the first time at this ancient manor in the Kent countryside, Directors attended a very successful and enjoyable AGM, the main details emanating from which were as follows :- Presidential election With current President, Dr Calvin Inalsingh of Trinidad and Tobago nearing the end of his two year term of office, FREDERICK R STURRUP JP of the Bahamas, like Dr Inalsingh, a former President, was elected to serve in the most senior titular position on the CBC Board for years 2019 and 2020. New member An application from the PROFESSIONAL BOXING ASSOCIATION OF BOTSWANA for affiliation to the CBC was considered and granted, subject to completion of formalities. It was not possible on this occasion for a representative to be present but PBAB President, MR TIETSI SHAKES KEBAULEMANG will be invited to attend next years AGM to be formally registered as a CBC Director. Representation from Tanzania Following the most careful consideration, CBC Directors voted to cancel the membership of the Tanzania Professional Boxing Commission Ltd as a result of reported support of the National Sports Council of that country for an alternative organization, as well as confusion arising from the number of organizations there purporting to regulate the sport. It followed that longtime CBC Director ONESMO NGOWI was compelled to stand down from that position.

The most horrible memory that will never leave me. HE nicest man in boxing is trying to compute what has just happened.
