Boxing promoter Frank Warren is claiming $1bn in lost income from combat-sports brand TKO and Saudi events company Sela, The Telegraph has reported.
Last Friday brought the shock news that Zuffa Boxing, a new promotion owned by TKO and Sela, had signed Conor Benn from Matchroom, as the British star defected from Eddie Hearn’s company to join a rival outfit. It marked a major move in what Hearn says he expects to be a decade-long promotional feud, and his fellow promoter Warren might just have made the next play.
