What's going on with him? I understand he's Tyson Fury's manager but what's his background and how has he come to be co-promoting in Saudi on a card Fury isn't on?
No Higgins is still involved although no sign of him. I believe as JP thanked him and Goldstar. Would of been nice to have Higgins trash talk Wilder
Goldstar run meet & greet events and they did Fury’s UK tour from a few years ago. Fury needed a new manager after the Kinahan stuff and he gave Brown the job.
That answers the first question. Baffling how he's so involved in this event too though. When it was all announced Warren gave a lot of the credit to Goldstar for pulling it together.
Higgins seemed like he enjoyed playing the funny character. He played that up a bit much I thought. He tried to become this cult internet hero.
After the third Wilder fight, Goldstar started making offers to potential opponents on behalf of Fury and Fury was going to go it alone with them. Eventually he struck a deal to renew with Queensberry and Top Rank but I presume Goldstar were part of that new deal. I’d guess that Fury and Goldstar got in with the Saudi’s first and Warren had to go through them.
