Boxing News - Anthony Joshua slammed by Frank Warren
Frank Warren has accused Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn of deliberately avoiding a heavyweight title unification fight with Wilder.
"The reasons fights don't happen are, one, money, and two, if they don't fancy it,” Warren told ESPN.
"If someone guarantees you $80 million (£62million), $50 million (£39million) for the first and $30 million (£24million) for the second, that tells me you don't fancy a fight.
"Lennox Lewis put it in a nutshell the other day. He made some comments about this, and Lennox has no ax to grind with anybody.
"The only reason this fight is not being made is because either Anthony Joshua, or his management or trainers don't want the fight, otherwise it would be made."
Boxing News - Lucas Browne eyes Joseph Parker bout
Joseph Parker’s promoter David Higgins has revealed that Lucas Browne is looking to land a fight with the former WBO heavyweight champion.
"Lucas Browne's people are talking to us about a big trans-Tasman affair," Higgins told RadioLIVE.
"It would probably make sense in Auckland or New Zealand, because Joe has a better fan base in New Zealand than Browne has in Australia, so you could mount a big trans-Tasman clash."
