After the hilarious Jack Catterall vs Josh Taylor showdown, FOREIGN judges were brought in to Tyson Fury's grudge game with Dillian Whyte.
Catterall, a Chorley clubber, was denied a hard-earned victory last month over the undisputed champion light-welterweight. This was due to terrible scoring by judges Victor Loughlin and Ian John-Lewis.
Jack Catterall put in a great performance against Josh Taylor, but was denied victory
Frank Warren, Queensberry Promotion's top man, was so disgusted at the score of the fight that he hired 'neutral judges for the Battle of Britain next month between Fury and Whyte.
He stated to iFL TV that there will be neutral judges in this fight. It's not an issue. It's done.
Contrary to the claims of Eddie [Hearn], my PR man, it has actually been done."
British Board of Boxing Control has pledged to investigate Taylor's title defense.
Warren, a 70-year-old veteran promoter, calls for incompetent judges being banned from calling big fights.
He stated, "You can change it by holding people accountable. You do the same thing with football referees.
"If a referee screws for any reason, or he doesn't put in a good performance, then the Football League or the Premier League, or whatever it may be, will look at it, and then decide what they're going do.
"And invariably if they feel it is appropriate, they downgrade.
"You must do something. You can't let them just keep moving on to the next thing.
"And just say, "We're going have an inquiry. We're going have a conversation about it at our next board meeting."
"Have a conversation at the next board meeting. Say, "All right, that was bad."
"And they appoint another person for a big fight. This cannot continue. This has to stop.
Gypsy King Fury expressed his delight at the possibility of international judges calling domestic disputes. He told talkSPORT last Wednesday: "I saw an article where Frank Warren stated that there would not be British judges for this fight, and I repeat that."
"Those words echo throughout my training camp. This fight does not require British judges.

"We need experienced judges who will do the right things.
"If Dillian Whyte defeats me, give him that decision. Don't try to rob anyone of this fight. Give the man the decision and give him what he deserves.
"If you win, please do the same for me. These fighters in boxing don't need any gifts and don't want to be robbed.
People want to win if it's won, and lose if it's lost. We've seen many boxing decisions that go against our expectations. I don't know what they're thinking, but it's clear from the game that the majority of boxing decisions have gone in the other direction.
"The fight that took place the other night was a good one. Both fighters did their best and tried to do the best they could.
"It's not my job to tell who won or lost because I know both of them, but it was an enjoyable fight. I also watched it and it was great for the fans.
"Both fighters tried their best."
