Josh Warrington enters the ring on Saturday night as he faces a strong challenge to his IBF world featherweight title against Mexico's Alberto Lopez in Leeds.
The First Direct Arena hosts Warrington's first defence of his featherweight crown having regained the title with a win against Kiko Martinez at the same venue in March this year. Also on the card is Australian Ebanie Bridges who has become a home favourite for her passionate support of Leeds United, she takes on compatriot Shannon O'Connell for the IBF world bantamweight title.
Warrington has bounced back well from his upset against Mauricio Lara, with the 22-year-old Mexican inflicting his first career defeat in a huge upset in February 2021. He drew the rematch after the fight was stopped due to an accidental head clash before regaining his IBF title against Martinez this spring.
