‘My worry for Sky Sports is the lack of a British promoter’

Yeah. What we did with him – I remember signing him when he was sort of considered a middle-of-the-road, European-level fighter, so to take him to the top of the mountain [of a world title] and do everything we did with him was massive. There were people that broke our contracts in that but it’s going on a lot at the moment. It feels like there’s a big player in the market at the moment that doesn’t really care about… I’ve seen the Conor Benn stuff and I think that’s only going to end one way. They’ve obviously made that decision, even though, perhaps, they’ve breached his contract there, so that’s something that you can’t avoid and something that will play out. That was probably a bit of a sour taste… but other than that, nothing against Chris – and what we did for him, we changed his life. We really did. And we made all his dreams come true from the stadium [fight] to the world title, to the unifications, and even sometimes against our broadcasters’ wishes.
