Frank Warren born 28 February 1952 in Islington, London.
Warren's first licensed show was held at the Bloomsbury Crest Hotel, in London in 1980 and he soon became a leading figure in British boxing. Since then, Warren has managed some of Britain's best and best loved boxers of the last twenty five years, including 'Prince' Naseem Hamed, Nigel Benn, Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton.

Warren guided Hamed to becoming Britain's youngest ever world champion when he beat Steve Robinson to win the WBO Super Featherweight title at Cardiff Arms Park, Wales, in 1995; oversaw the ascent of Ricky Hatton to the IBF Light Welterweight Championship of the World after beating Kostya Tszyu in 2005; and has been with former IBF and current WBO/WBC/WBA/Ring Magazine Super Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe throughout the majority of his 44 fight unbeaten career.

On 30 November 1989 Frank Warren was shot outside the Broadway Theatre in Barking by an unknown assailant who was never caught. A .22 bullet from a Luger pistol missed his heart by an inch. The former boxer, Terry Marsh, who had become Warren's first world champion two years earlier, was accused of the shooting but acquitted by a jury. The shooting was allegedly motivated by money which Marsh never received. In 1995 Warren signed an exclusive deal with the pay-TV operator Sky Sports.

Warren was the most powerful promoter in Britain and had most of the top boxers from the United Kingdom on his books. His most recent high profile signing has been 2004 Olympic Lightweight silver medallist Amir Khan. He also managed Ricky Hatton to a world title, but the two split. Similarly Joe Calzaghe terminated his arrangement with Warren in June 2008 after an association that began in 1996. Frank Warren currently has a television deal with one of the UK's leading broadcast stations, Sky Sports.

Warren was also the founder and owner of the London Arena until he sold it in 1996. In December 2007 he was elected for induction in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. He was inducted in June 2008.






Enzo Calzaghe (born in 1949) is an Anglo-Italian boxing trainer. He was born in Sassari, Sardinia, but was mostly raised in the hamlet of Bancali. He is the father of Joe Calzaghe and the head trainer for Team Calzaghe at the Newbridge boxing club.

On completing his national service in the late 1960s Enzo decided to travel around Europe making money as a busker, hitch-hiking from one city to the next. He arrived at Bournemouth where his auntie ran a restaurant. Enzo stayed and worked at the restaurant in the day and slept there at night. Calzaghe worked at the restaurant in order to save up enough money to go back home to Sardinia. He saved the cash but, when he got to Southampton station, the tannoy announced a train to Cardiff was due. In Calzaghe's words: "Sod going home, let's try Cardiff".

Whilst in Cardiff, Enzo got involved in the local boxing gym and met Paul Williams, who was trainer of the Newbridge boxing club. Williams invited Enzo to bring his son Joe Calzaghe along. Joe became a regular at the gym and Enzo became Paul's assistant trainer." Williams retired when Joe was 18 and Enzo took over the gym. Enzo Calzaghe has also won 'Coach of the Year' at the BBC Sports Personality awards and was Ring Magazine trainer of the year for 2007.

Other fighters of note whom Calzaghe has produced include former World cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli, former World light welterweight champion Gavin Rees, former Commonwealth light-middleweight champion Bradley Pryce and recent world-title challenger Gary Lockett who retired in September 2008.
