Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has sent a message of support to former IBF featherweight champion Josh Warrington after the boxer lost his first title defence of the belt to Luis Alberto Lopez last night.
The bout was Warrington's first since he bounced back from the first defeat of his professional career against Mauricio Lara back in February last year with a win against Spaniard Kiko Martinez in March earlier this year.
Warrington was put through the paces in the early rounds as Lopez used his speed and length to gain an early advantage before the Leeds Warrior looked dangerous, throwing some big hooks which did some damage.
