Josh Warrington will speak at a press conference today ahead of his opportunity to win back the IBF Featherweight World Title in a rematch against against Kiko Martinez. The Spaniard became champion after defeating Kid Galahad in November in front of the latter's home fans in Sheffield.
It's the same belt that Warrington had to vacate last year after his first 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. Talks were never agreed between the two for a third fight, with Warrington now having his eyes back on the title.
The Leeds boxer has now not picked up a win in almost three years after his two bouts with Lara and taking 2020 off, and will hope to defeat Martinez once again to get back on track - whilst having the belt around his waist. In the previous meeting between Martinez and Warrington in 2017, the bout went the full distance before the later won via the score cards.
