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.
