Warren, who has represented many of Britain's top fighters, including Amir Khan and Joe Calzaghe, will announce his plans at a special conference to be held next Tuesday (October 19) at Forman's Fish Island, which overlooks the Olympic Stadium.

Officials behind the bid, which also includes the England Hockey Board (EHB), VisitLondon and UK Sport, claim that it will be the first major international legacy event to be held at the Park.

Warren will be joined by London Mayor Boris Johnson and EHB chief executive Sally Munday at the event where they will outline plans to host the men and women's World Cups.

Warren told insidethegames that he was approached by the EBH and that he "helping out" financially and will promote it just as he would a boxing tournament.

"I'm in the promotional business, not just boxing now," he said to insidethegames.

Under plans announced by London 2012 during the bid, the main hockey stadium will be a temporary venue that will be moved to Eton Manor, in the north of the Olympic Park, after the Games.

It will have 3,000 permanent seats with the ability to increase to up to 15,000 for major events.

If successful, it will be the first time that the men's World Cup has been held in Britain since 1986 when it was hosted at Willesden, North London.

Australia beat England 2-1 in the final on that occasion but the event was the springboard for Britain's success at the Olympics in Seoul two years later when the team won the gold medal.

This year's event was held in New Delhi and was won again by Australia, who beat Germany 2-1 in the final.

Britain has never hosted the women's event.

This year the tournament was held in Rosario where the hosts Argentina lifted the trophy as England claimed the bronze medal, the team's best ever performance.

The men and women's tournaments have not been held at the same since Utrecht in 1998.
