Josh Warrington vs Kiko Martinez 2 undercard in full including Ebanie Bridges

The undercard for Josh Warrington's upcoming fight will see two other world title fights, before the Leeds fighter faces former foe Kiko Martinez in a championship bout of his own. The Spaniard Martinez, became champion after defeating Kid Galahad in November in front of the latter's home fans in Sheffield.

Warrington had vacated the same belt last year ahead of his initial fight with Mauricio Lara, where he suffered a surprise defeat, and then drew with the same opponent after two rounds as Lara suffered a cut eye. Instead of a third fight with the skilled Mexican, he'll now fight for the title.

Elsewhere on the card, Maxi Hughes will defend his IBO lightweight title against Ryan Walsh. Walsh has not fought since his 2020 loss to Jazza Dickens, but has been handed a shot at the belt against Hughes, who is on a five-win streak.

The first title bout of the night will see the ever popular Ebanie Bridges set to face current champion Maria Cecilia Roman. Bridges took the boxing world by storm last summer as she wowed fans across the world leaving little to the imagination during a weigh-in whilst donning a Leeds United scarf. Her social media account reveals she's a huge fan of the Whites, having turned up at Elland Road in this season's kit.
