WARREN HISTORY IN THE MAKING

- Interview by CHRIS MCKENNA

WINSTON CHURCHILL once stood and announced the sinking of the World War 2 battleship Bismarck in Church House.

Now Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce, Anthony Yarde and Lyndon Arthur will get their chance to leave their bit of history in the Westminste­r venue.

We wanted something special for two cracking fights which take place on November 28 and December 5.

And it doesn’t get much better than an iconic building in the shadows of Westminste­r Abbey.

The venue ( below) was used for the Houses of Parliament during World War 2 and it even took a direct hit from a bomb.

But now four of Britain’s best boxing stars will take over the site over two exciting weekends

First up, of course, is Dubois ( above) and Joyce for the British, Commonweal­th and European heavyweigh­t titles.

This is one of the most exciting fights to take place since the sport returned from lockdown. And nobody believed we could get this on behind closed doors.

There was a real danger this could have slipped away but now it will not only take place, but it will be staged in an historic venue which will look sensationa­l for viewers on BT Sport.

Then a week later we drop down to lightheavy­weight for the Commonweal­th title clash between Yarde and Arthur. These two are the rising stars in the division and again deserve huge credit for facing each other at this stage of their careers in what promises to be a sensationa­l show.

Both cracking nights will be part of celebratin­g my 40 years of involvemen­t in British boxing, too.

And I can’t think of a better way to mark such a significan­t milestone.
