Josh Warrington set for final Leeds Arena bout in world title defence against Luis Alberto Lopez

Josh Warrington Luis Alberto Lopez Leeds United Leeds Joe Gelhardt IBF Kiko Martinez

Josh Warrington admits his fight with Luis Alberto Lopez could be his last fight at Leeds Arena. The Leeds United supporter has had a number of bouts take place at the venue over the years, including his win to reclaim the IBF featherweight title fight against Kiko Martinez.

Warrington suffered a broken jaw in the bout with the Spaniard but has now fully recovered, ready to take on Alberto Lopez at the First Direct Arena on Saturday December 10.

“So we are back at the Leeds Arena, back for the 12th and potentially final time,” said Warrington. “I’m very excited to be back in Leeds. I started the year very well with a sensational 7th round stoppage against Kiko Martinez to recapture my IBF belt and now finishing the end of the year defending my belt to my mandatory who’s a tough Mexican and has waited a long time to fight me.
