Why is Frank Warren announcing shows without opponents?

    Tyson Fury vs TBA, this is laughable.

    He also did the same with Carl Frampton, James DeGale and Lee Selby.


    Why has Warren started doing this, any ideas?

    It's called having no money to pay for decent opponents

    Hearn has done the same a few times tbf. I agree it’s annoying sometimes but it’s not a big deal on this occasion - that’s because it’s no secret it’s going to be a patsy opponent so what does it matter what his name is..

    It's pathetic. He can't announce an actual fight but he can announce **** like this:

    Appears he has a card in Belfast on 30 June with Michael Conlan. Wonder if he will have an opponent before the announcement?

    Joe Ham vs Tyrone McCullagh looks a good fight.

    Fury comeback is the draw. Opponent tbc is commonplace in boxing especially on the smaller shows. Hel have a few options already lined up. He's sorted the venue first and foremost because there will be time slots available for that venue . Opponent should be a formality. That's boxing It's on the edge. It's never plain sailing even with two named fighters. Ggg is still boxing a tbc/tba. I don't see the problem You either want to go and see fury or not

    Tyson Fury vs TBA
    Terry Flanagan vs Maurice Hooker
    Ronnie Clark vs Zelfa Barrett 2


    You'd imagine Mark Heffron, Jordan Thompson will be on there and maybe Hughie Fury.

    The big black curtain will be in place for 1/2 the arena at least.

    Fury less of a draw than a tiny toger's foreskin
