It seems Sky Sports have issued an apology to Frank Warren for an article posted about Callum Johnson and his career path.

Here's their statement:

In an article published on our website on Thursday 5th September, we discussed the career of boxer Callum Johnson to date and reported his claims that he had been let down by his promoter Frank Warren to the extent that his career had been put in jeopardy and he had struggled mentally.

We did not contact Mr Warren before publication. He subsequently refuted any suggestion made by Callum Johnson and tells us that when Mr Johnson confirmed he was fit to fight, fights were arranged for him, from which he subsequently withdrew.

Mr Warren informs us that he takes his responsibilities as a boxing promoter and manager very seriously and his first priority was the health and wellbeing of Callum Johnson. We apologise to Mr Warren.

Nice to see they have supported the apology with a very flattering picture of Frank. Really underpins the thing with a feeingl of sincerity.

Did Sky actually speak to Warren or did they just unlock the code to his voicemail and have a rummage around?

That's a 'my laywers are onto you' shot if ever I've seen one.

To be fair, flattering photos of frank are a little thin on the ground. Allegedly.

Well, we all know how good his last legal claim went!!

How anyone who is interested but doesn't want to read the whole case, Warren sued Calzaghe, Calzaghe legal report counter claimed and won.

Besides, Frank still has some outstanding litigation against him. His legal aides are probably fed up of him.

Also, you guys might like the statement in the case in which Hopkins was chosen by Calzaghe before the Vegas confrontation took place... And the whole thing was staged.

Legal aides are never fed up of people like frank - its like being bankrolled by the treasury. Any company would love a customer who comes back again and again and again

No idea, I know you can't type his name on Eastside or the Boxrec forums (which replaces it with allegedly).

i follow callum on twitter and he's constantly saying how frustrated he is about the lack of fights he's getting.

The boxer is a bum or thick.
