Warren is wrong to say this. But then again most promoters are.
Its obvious Warren is trying so hard to put British boxing on the map but its only proving to be detrimental to his fighters.

I think its always healthy for boxing if a fighter to be relatively well travelled.
A fighter is bound to have more options open to him if he is willing to travel.

By looking at what has been happening with the huge influx of eastern European fighters, particularly in the heavyweight division, we are now noticing more proposals for big fights in places like Russia, Germany etc...

Thats only gonna be good for boxing...

It may not be good for the travelling opponent, more so if he's the champ but fighters and promoters need to move away form the notion of defending titles (or reputations) out of their own back yards.

Who quickly would UFC die if it became apparent that the best fighters refused to travel outside of their wishes?
Exactly! So you can see one of the reasons boxing is dying.





In regrards to Joe Calzaghe.... He is as much to blame as all the promoters, fighters and even networks involved in this 10 year episode of watching potentially brilliant match ups slip away on the basis of absolutely anything and everything outside of boxing.
