  • Boxing promoter Frank Warren's company, Queensberry, is claiming up to $1bn in lost income from combat-sports brand TKO and Saudi events company Sela, according to The Telegraph.
  • Queensberry alleges that TKO and Sela breached existing contracts by forming their own promotion, Zuffa Boxing.
  • The claim states Queensberry had an exclusivity agreement with Sela for boxing insights and a separate contract with TKO for access to its online data, including the Sela deal.
  • The dispute follows the recent announcement that Zuffa Boxing, co-owned by TKO and Sela, had signed British boxer Conor Benn from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.
  • Legal letters have reportedly been sent, and Queensberry may pursue a formal claim in the High Court if the matter remains unresolved.
