Josh Warrington returns to action on Saturday night as he faces Luis Alberto Lopez, figthing at the First Direct Arena for the second time this year.
He regained his title in March, beating Spain's Kiko Martinez in front of a home crowd. That win was an impressive return, with the 32-year-old claiming that people had written him off following a shock defeat to Mauricio Lara in 2021 before winning his rematch against the Mexican at Headingley last September.
Warrington will be joined on the card by Ebanie Bridges, with the Australian star a favourite of the Yorkshire public due to her public support for Leeds United. Bridges (8-1, 3 KOs) defends her IBF Bantamweight World Title against Shannon O'Connell (23-6-1, 11 KOs) in an all-Australian clash in Yorkshire.
