Josh Warrington still dreams of taking Leeds United supporters to Las Vegas

Leeds-born professional boxer Josh Warrington still dreams of taking Leeds United fans to the United States.

Warrington knocked out Kiko Martinez to become a two-time world champion in March, despite bravely fighting on with a broken jaw. The 31-year-old is due to defend his IBF World Featherweight title against Luis Alberto Lopez in Leeds on December 10.

He boasts a professional record of 31-1-1 (8 KOs) but has never fought outside of Europe. Warrington says he wishes to follow in the footsteps of fellow Brits Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe by fighting in the US.
