Boxing's Big Bet: Warren Throws Million-Pound Challenge to Hearn!

Promoter Frank Warren is stepping into the ring with a bold proposition for Eddie Hearn – a high-stakes boxing night featuring 5 Matchroom talents squaring off against 5 Queensberry champs.

"I'm still mulling over my top 5 picks, but rest assured, I'll get there. First things first, we've got to pin down the weight divisions. We'll hash that out, then draft our dream teams."

Warren's jazzed about the five-bout lineup ensuring a clear victor – unless the scorecards read a draw. He's game for a little side wager with Hearn to spice things up.

"And how much are you willing to wager?"

"A cool million pounds," declares Warren.

Flashback to the initial press meet for the Joshua-Ngannou face-off, where the idea of a joint tourney got the green light from both Hearn and Warren right off the bat.
