Later on, Executioner blew up his mother's car after discovering her criminal lifestyle. Let’s be honest. “I CAN’T believe it,” Frank Warren says as he reflects on the fact that next year will mark another boxing milestone for him.

But it’s much bigger now.”Will Joshua and Fury agree to fight one day? I know what it did to Mark. It was going to give him something to aim for because he was low and self-loathing.

Most fights he’s behind, as he was against [Luis] Ortiz. I met Sonny Liston. “He did. We’ve got some exceptional talent and they all committing their future to us.

You’re going to earn a lot of money but have some fun. He never talks about it. It’s an old cliché but I remember him skipping rope to Night Train, the great James Brown song. He was not in a good place. He knocked him down and they rang the bell. I went with my uncle to a meeting and I said, ‘We’d give you that.’ Next minute we’re promoting a fight. But his punching power stands out.

I took him with me into BT Sport, and there was a bit of reluctance to do the deal – but we convinced them.”Did he approach Fury at a time when the fighter was in turmoil?

Later on, Executioner blew up his mother's car after discovering her criminal lifestyle. It was like gambling. I enjoy bringing young fighters through.

Couldn’t get arrested until he came to me. I was quite big on making education a priority, and they all went to uni and did well. Lenny McLean is my second cousin – although I’m not sure that’s what you call it. We can afford to be patient with him while these guys fight each other. The only way I could move forward was using the law as there were regulations but they relied on unwritten polices. He felt that boxing was going to be the catalyst for him to become a better person. They did everything they could to screw me. You get hold of the people who were selling it to him, but then he’d go and get it off his mates.”Did Mark have other mental health problems? His miles are from outside, not inside, the ring.“And I think he has really got to Wilder. Joshua has got his mandatories.

This British boxing year will end on December 21 with Warren’s ‘Fight Before Christmas’ promotion as his latest heavyweight prospect, “When I was a kid,” Warren says, “I got into boxing because I didn’t know any different. “He can punch with devastating force and he’s been clipped a couple of times in fights. The referee did all the things he said he was going to do and, by the end of the round, Tyson was on top again. But Duff and the others lied about it. And this time round Tyson’s not training to lose the weight. There are some big names.”Rumours have swirled that Dubois floored Joshua in sparring.

When Lenny fought Roy Shaw I went with my uncle to see the fight. He even secured television coverage but he was blocked at every turn by the boxing establishment. “I wasn’t too sure to start with. “I just enjoy it. We were talking, and then he said, ‘I want to meet.’ And we met and put the deal together.”Did Warren have any doubt Fury could get back on track after his battle with depression? He’ll train for the fight.”Is the fight guaranteed? It was terrible.”His eyes glisten and, for a moment, Warren can’t talk. Lenny knocked him out. So, you’ve got to be right on it. You could see it before the last fight. Every penny went to my uncle. Liston had a big card with a photograph of him on it and I said, ‘Would you sign it?’ He did and I’ve still got it somewhere. WWE, boxing, a record with Robbie Williams, an autobiography. If you don’t want to do it then you stop.

It will be exactly 40 years since he began working as a promoter and the truth makes Warren wince and smile at the same time. It was going to be for the NABF title, we had TV for it but the Board had regulations saying, no television. There was probably about 80-90 grands worth of bets. So I did that for a few years. “He came to a lot of shows but in the end he was lost in his own world. They wore gloves.”Where did these fights take place? I think, at this stage in his career, he’s fought some decent guys. A couple of my cousins were fighters and I knew a lot of people in the fight business. But he has come out of his shell a bit now. “All these idiots who talk about legalizing cannabis have no idea of the damage it does.

Then Lenny got involved and I went to see one of those Roy Shaw fights and it was crap. My uncle and my dad were big friends with Angelo and Chris Dundee when they used to come over. “I get quite upset when I think about it. But I think Tyson will win the rematch – as long as he keeps out of the way. I know it turned him schizophrenic. All the fighters in those days used to have cards. He was later apparently freed, as he was seen among the Masters of Evil.Executioner doesn't have any superhuman powers, but is skilled with several weapons, including 2 pistols and a sniper.

Forty years have flown by.”A new decade will begin next month with the build-up to yet another massive fight as Tyson Fury, whom Warren promotes, prepares to face Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas in February. He just loved music and that was it.”Did boxing appeal to him? And of course Joe’s with me. Is it true that Warren’s uncle got him into the boxing business while he promoted Lenny McLean, the unlicensed boxer? So I’m in the car, and all the guys are incredible characters. He lives to fight. This fella, the opponent, came from Ilford, and was an ex-soldier. And then he made a rematch for some reason. Now, everybody’s talking about him as the next big thing and I enjoy bringing those guys through. Daniel Dubois (born 6 September 1997) is a British professional boxer.Since 2019 he has held the British, Commonwealth, WBC Silver and WBO International heavyweight titles. He wants to talk because, apart from the grief, he is angry about the cause of Mark’s death. We did great with Ricky Hatton. Joe Calzaghe?
