Frank Warren tells story of Tyson Fury's 'hilarious' first meeting with BT Sport executives
Tyson Fury’s first meeting with BT Sport bosses before his boxing comeback in 2018 was unusual to say the least.
To do this, he signed with promoter Frank Warren, who has now told talkSPORT how this all came about.: “It was brilliant. I met him, he came down for the first time on his own, then I met him with his lawyer and it was great.By the end of 2017, Fury was over 28 stone“It’s not like sometimes when a guy’s out of the ring and you say, ‘You have a comeback fight and then you’ll fight for the world title.
“They weren’t in boxing for that long and basically they’re a communications business who got into sport.Getty“It was quite amusing for me because I do it every day, it was quite amusing to see what happened. “Anyway we went in there and bearing all that in mind we’re going into this room filled with executives and a couple of guys who work on the boxing.brought along his mate Matthew who was quite a wealthy guy, a gypsy guy himself.“I’m obviously saying, ‘Look, you’ve bought into us, we’re partners. With Tyson, I’m telling you, he will become world champion again. We can do this, this can happen. We wanna built BT as the home for British boxing.
