Frank Warren reveals how long he'll stay in boxing before retiring

It's hard to think of a time in boxing when Frank Warren wasn't involved in the sport, and there seems to be no stopping the promoter just yet. 

Warren has been front and centre of the big Matchroom vs. Queensbury 5-on-5 event set for later this year, and the 72-year-old shows no signs of slowing down. 

His first televised fight came in 1982 when Clinton McKenzie knocked out Steve Early to defend his British super-lightweight title, and four decades later, Warren told Boxing News that he has no plans on retiring any time soon. 

“I’ve always worked hard and I’ve got a good team around me," Warren said. 

"The day to day running of the business is with George [Warren], Francis [Warren] looks after and manages very successfully a good group of boxers, he’s got a very good roster of boxers, but I enjoy it. If I didn’t enjoy it, I wouldn’t do it.

“I love the sport, I always have done. I’ve always been interested in all sports since I was a kid, I am a massive sports fan and boxing is my passion, being involved in this is just a joy.

“Look at Bob [Arum], his itinerary over the next few weeks is going to Australia, Japan, Saudi, coming back to the U.K., going back to Saudi and then going to L.A. and somewhere else, over the course of four weeks or something. He is 92-years-old now Bob, he has got tremendous energy and he loves it, he enjoys it and it keeps him going.”
