Crysencio Summerville will join Josh Warrington on his ring walk for the IBF World Featherweight Title defence against Luis Alberto Lopez later this month. The Leeds United fan retained his featherweight title by defeating Kiko Martinez earlier this year and is close to a number of Whites' players.
Warrington will take part in his fifth title defence, having regained the belt after defeat to Mauricio Lara back in 2021. Summerville, who has scored in each of his last four appearances for the Whites will accompany the fighter on the way to the ring, carrying his belt.
The 32-year-old fighter was pictured at Thorp Arch earlier this week, meeting the likes of Stuart Dallas, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo Moreno, Adam Forshaw and Summerville. It's not the first time a Leeds player has accompanied Warrington on fight night, with defender Luke Ayling at his last bout with Martinez, while the likes of Pablo Hernandez, Liam Cooper, Lucas Radebe and Vinnie Jones have also joined Warrington in the ring.

The fight, which takes place on December 10, will also have Leeds fan Ebanie Bridges on the undercard and could be Warrington's last fight at the First Direct Arena. The Leeds-born fighter has won 31 of his professional bouts and is the bookmakers favourite heading into the fight.
