Josh Warrington faces a huge test against mandatory challenger Luis Antonio Lopez on Saturday night in Leeds.
Josh Warrington takes on Luis Antonio Lopez this weekend as he makes his first defence of his IBF featherweight title in Leeds on Saturday night.
Having enjoyed an illustrious career to date, he will be hoping that he can defend his title in order to set up a huge future fight against Leigh Wood. Lara pulled out of a fight against the Nottingham based WBA featherweight champion in September and a win for Warrington could set up a massive British contest against either Wood or Lara next year.Lopez is a relatively unknown quantity having neve fought one of the aforementioned big names within the featherweight division.
"Any fight at this level is always going to be a hard fight because he’s got himself into mandatory position. He’s beaten some decent guys along the way but I just don’t think he’s mixed in the same level that I’ve been in with. He’s certainly not had a fight like me.
