Sorry, didnt put rumour as ive heard its true and from checking out the background I cant see any other outcome. Sellars gets refused for being inactive and losing, he vanishes from the rankings, then this guy shows up at number 14, he has a good record on paper in hope the the casual fan to say "wow he's had 22 fights and not lost yet" (cant remember his record but it looked good until to look into it) and he's active.
So this Azzaoui chap jumps into the top 15 and Sellars falls out with neither of them fighting in the last week. And all because Warren wants Enzo to fight Azzaoui? This is a disgrace. How does this work? Does Warren phone up the WBO and say "Look, I want Enzo to defend his "world" title but there is no one in your top 15 who's weak enough for him to beat. Any chance you can put some one like Azzaoui in your ratings?"
Did the victory against braithwaite, a banger at world level (18kos from 22wins) not dispel the chin theory?

I hope Setanta have the bulls to take Warren up on this. Who is the Journo who presents for them, i reckon he will have the stones to do it. still fighting 3 weeks after a fight is ridiclious, i doubt the Docs will pass him fit!
Thoguht it might be. As long as he didnt take excess headshots in his last encounter he'll be fine to fight.

yeh they will not print it. i am looking for an email for Steve Bunce or a way to get in contact with him. He will be doing the Interview after the fight and he is a real boxing fan and will ask the questions of Warren that need to be asked. Also says the fight is going to be aired by HBO, you would think they would have put him in with Wilson a guy the Americans would at least of heard of.
Frank always does this he puts his fighters in with people with unbeaten records and thinks we will buy it. Remember Samuel Kebede he told us he was god with a record of 24-0 before he fought Scott Harrison LMFAO the same Samuel Kebede that just got KTFO against Yuriorkis Gamboa in his 6 pro fight! **** OFF PLANK WARREN!!!!!
