Warren looks at job offer for Olympic coach
David Smith12 Jan 2009
Axed British Olympic boxing coach Terry Edwards may be offered a job by professional promoter Frank Warren
Just a fortnight after being awarded an MBE for services to boxing, Edwards has been told his contract with the British Amateur Boxing Association will not be renewed when it expires in March.
The decision is despite the former 65-year-old former London cab driver guiding James DeGale to gold in Beijing and Tony Jeffries and David Price to bronze.
Warren, who confirmed that DeGale and fellow Olympians Billy Joe Saunders and Frankie Gavin would make their professional debuts in Birmingham on 28 February, believes Edwards can act as a mentor to the three youngsters.
He said today: "What has happened to Terry is disgusting. I'm going to have a meeting with him and he might have a role with us."
