The Leeds boxer is not ready to hang up his gloves just yet but that has not stopped bosses at Strictly asking about his availability

LEEDS, ENGLAND - APRIL 02: IBF world featherweight champion, Josh Warrington shows off their belt to the fans prior to the Premier League match between Leeds United and Southampton at Elland Road on April 02, 2022 in Leeds, England. Warrington says he might be open to appearing on reality TV in the future but the featherweight champion is not ready to walk away from boxing just yet.

Warrington said:"I have been offered Dancing on Ice but you can't do that incase you injure yourself. I got offered Strictly but Mrs Warrington was not happy about that - as it's renowned for affairs! "I am too stiff as well, I can't dance. I love this sport, it scares me the day I have got to hang up the gloves. I am a boxing fan - I watch fights and get excited myself. I love the sport.

"There is easier ways to go make a living but I keep telling my wife that I will have one or two more years.”Warrington defends his IBF title against mandatory challenger Luis Alberto Lopez at the Leeds Arena on December 10. The Mexican has won 26 of his 28 professional bouts losing the other two. The Leeds Warrior won the IBF crown with a knockout victory against Kiko Martinez in March – regaining the belt he had vacated at the beginning of 2021.
