Josh Warrington is ready to ‘boot down the doors of the City Ground’ to fight Leigh Wood after regaining his world title - but admits he is dreaming of an American fight night. The Leeds Warrior won back the IBF world featherweight title in a stunning showing against Kiko Martinez on Saturday night.
Warrington, buoyed by an electric home crowd at the First Direct Arena, produced a dominant performance against Martinez, five years after his first win against the Spaniard. Warrington secured a seventh-round finish this time around having floored Martinez in the first.
Nottingham's WBA champion Leigh Wood - who was on punditry duty for DAZN - is a prospective opponent for Warrington next. Wood dramatically knocked down Michael Conlan earlier this month.
