News about Josh Warrington

Wembley Stadium is sold out for Saturday night's IBF world heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. That main event is expected to be watched by 96,000 fans in London. It will take place after a stacked undercard, including Josh Kelly vs Ishmael Davis, Anthony Cacace vs Josh Warrington, Joshua Buatsi vs Willie Hutchinson and Tyler Denny vs Hamzah Sheeraz. However, the headline warm-up act will be a live performance by Liam Gallagher, who has revealed that he will perform three Oasis hits in Rock 'n' Roll Star, Supersonic, and Cigarettes and Alcohol.

The Welshman, 31, had been cut off from the belt last year due to injury, but regained it after beating Shavkat Rakhimov in Cardiff in a close split. Vazquez stayed inside in the early exchanges at the Casino de Monte Carlo on Saturday night, using quick combinations. Cordina, on the other hand, began to discover his own range and was quickly more comfortable against the American as he landed multiple body shots and remained patient as he continued to use his jab to keep Vainquez at a safe distance. The Welshman earned a solid uppercut as his momentum slowed until Vazquez recovered ground with some solid counters of his own in the fifth.

JEFF POWELL: A throwback to the golden age. This year, he is a leading contender for the fight of the year. Any show-reel will be lit up by a knock-out. A savage. A glorious reminder of how fantastic the best of British combats can be. A win comes after a battered jaw of impending defeat.

Leigh Wood took a devastating blow from the teeth of a beating to hold a marauding Josh Warringon in his place at the seventh round climax to a fight that has been far removed from great British history.

Boxing has established concrete evidence for the Prime Minister's shift from HS2 to high-speed rail links between the north and the midlands. Thousands of followers of Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington are commuting from Nottingham and Leeds respectively for their international featherweight championship match in neutral Sheffield this Saturday. With the fight unlikely to end much before midnight, traffic jams is predicted for a slew of late night trains.

In what is one of the most underrated fights on the 2023 boxing calendar, WBA featherweight world champion Leigh Wood faces former champion Josh Warrington in Sheffield on Saturday in what is one of the most under appreciated fights on the 2023 boxing schedule. Wood, who recovered from his humiliating loss to Mauricio Lara in a rematch in Manchester in May, now stands as the 4/9 favorite to win his 28th game of his career. In the meantime, Warrington's bout on Saturday gives him a golden opportunity to return to the top of the division.

Leigh Wood, who has had 16 knockouts and/or technological breakdowns in his 27 victories, is 11/4 to win by that strategy, and 11/10 to be victorious by decision. Warrington, who has only eight KOs in his 31 victories, is a much bigger 6/1 to get the job within the distance and 2/7 to have his hand raised at the end of 12 rounds.

On October 7, Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington will face each other in an all-British world featherweight title match at Sheffield's Utilita Arena. Wood, 34, will defend his WBA version of the tournament against Leeds' Warrington, who is trying to bounce back from losing his IBF crown to Luis Alberto Lopez in December. The Nottingham king, who retaliated against Mauricio Lara in May, believes that the match is one of the best all-British offerings in the sport. "This is arguably the most intense British rivalry in the game, with the football clubs and the cities." Wood said:

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY CHARLOTTE DALY: Josh Warrington has reached an agreement to face Leigh Wood, the current WBA featherweight champion, and has revealed that a world championship match could take place in Sheffield. Since being injured to Luis Alberto Lopez in December, the 32-year-old has been out of action, but he says he is eager to return to winnings against Wood in October.

Following being left 'gutted' by the news that Amir Khan (right) failed a drug test after his 2022 grudge-match loss to Kell Brook, Josh Warrington (left) has called for tighter punishments in boxing. Following a urine sample collected by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), Khan, 36, was found positive for the banned drug ostarine, which can promote muscle growth and has similar effects to testosterone. Since an independent tribunal ruled out 'deliberate or reckless conduct, the former world champion was banned for two years, which will come to an end in April 2024.'

We all know that one big punch can change everything in boxing, and Leigh Wood's, who was the heaviest ounce-for-ounce hitter in the Ring's lighter divisions, turned an impending British victory of epic proportions into a brain-scrambled loss of his world featherweight title. As it became known that their local hero was just six seconds away from winning the seventh round as he staggered inebriatedly to his feet, 'too soon,' screamed the Nottingham faithful.' 'Let me back at him,' yelled Josh Warrington, who had already experienced the ferocious strength of Mauricio Lara twice before but was eager to do so for the third time. And so when he says that the Mexican spat at him in a post-fight brawl at ringside.

JEFF POWELL: On the brink of delivering a monumental British victory when he was axed by a single ounce of hell, uncorked by the most coveted ounce-for-ounce puncher in boxing's fuzier regions. The drama was entitled, and Leigh Wood stood out on this red-hot night in ice-cold Nottingham. When Mexico's Mauricio Lara unleashed a dymanite left hook from the jaws of defeat, the home-town man was just six seconds away from ending the seventh round with a seemingly unsurmountable six point lead. All the brilliance that came before counted for nothing, other than an invitation for him to start a rematch clause, as Wood crashed to the cans. Referee Michael Alexander was able to continue his most tumultuous defense of his WBA world featherweight title.

Josh Warrington could face fellow Brit Leigh Wood at Nottingham Forest's City Ground as he looks to reclaim his career after losing his IBF featherweight title. Eddie Hearn, Warrington's promoter, said: 'I'd love to give him a major fight in America.'

After destroying sister Shannon O'Connell to keep her IBF bantamweight world championship and dethrone the 'queen of Australian boxing,' Ebanie Bridges says, "there's nothing like shutting down a bully." The pair clashed in the biggest boxing match in Australia's women's boxing history as the co-main event for Josh Warrington's IBF featherweight title match against Luis Alberto Lopez. O'Connell came out swinging, but it was Bridges who dominated the game by flooring her opponent in the third and then winning the stoppage with a ferocious barrage of punches in the eighth round.

OSS Heppenstall AT THE FIRST DIRECT ARENA, LEEDS: Josh Warrington, a fiery Mexican Luiz Alberto Lopez, is the highlight of his debut, but Josh Warrington, whose IBF world featherweight champion in his home city, is devastated and sad. Warrington, the 'Leeds Warrior,' fought spiritedly throughout his attempt to save his belt ahead of a potential dream match in Las Vegas, but mandatory challenger Lopez was not to be denied. Judges Adam Height and Mike Fitzgerald scored the game 115-113 to Lopez, while Howard Foster called a draw at 114-114 as Warrington lost his belt in the ring for the first time.

In an exciting display that lived up to every expectation, Australian boxing star Ebanie Bridges has defeated bitter rival Shannon O-Connell to keep the IBF female bantamweight title. Bridges walked through O'Connell's shots to pin her opponent against the ropes for lengthy stretches of the match and land damaging shots.

Shannon O'Connell has accused boxing world champion Ebanie Bridges of deserting her country for choosing to protect her title in the United Kingdom ahead of the pair's much-anticipated match in the UK on Sunday. As the co-main event for Josh Warrington's IBF featherweight championship fight against Luis Alberto Lopez, bridges and O'Connell will clash in the biggest fight in Australian women's boxing history. Both Australians, but O'Connell, who lives and fights out of the UK, believes that Bridges, who lives and fights in the United Kingdom, has been 'disrespected' Australia.

At 9 p.m., Josh Warrington's title defense against Luis Alberto Lopez will begin. The undercard will be brought forward to 1.30 p.m. and will be followed by a two-hour break to watch the football on the big screen in the arena. Felix Cash vs. TBA, Ebanie Bridges vs. Shannon O'Connell, and Warrington vs. Alberto Lopez are the three main fights that will take place immediately after.

Bridges, a former ring girl who has wowed notice by wearing lingerie at her pre-fight weigh-ins, has been named in the IBF bantamweight tile in January. O'Connell, the 35-year-old champion, has long been hoping to get Bridges' attention, and has launched several sledges in the 35-year-old's direction.

Josh Warrington has come a long way since being a dental technician and combating journeymen in leisure centers for a few hundred dollars. He was referred to as the 'boxing tooth fairy' because he brushed teeth by day and then knocked them out at night. Following 31 victories out of 33 professional matches, the IBF world featherweight champion returns to Leeds next Saturday to face mandatory challenger Luis Alberto Lopez.

Conor Benn was one of the most popular boxing products just 23 days ago. 21 victories in as many fights, an almost unbeaten rate of growth, the charisma to match, and a true testament fight are just three days away. How quickly things can change. Chris Eubank Jr.'s pending fight against him, 30 years after their legendary fathers went toe-to-toe, was thrown out, but not without a fight. His image, on the other hand, was shattered quicker than an accidentless Samuel Vargas when an electric Benn blasted him out in fewer than a round last year. The source, as we all know, was MailOnline's bombshell revelation that Benn tested positive for banned substance clomifene, a women's fertility treatment that is listed under hormone and metabolic regulators and can raise testosterone in males.

The UK Anti-Doping Agency, which caused Conor Benn's fight with Chris Eubank Jr to be called off, is now investigating Conor Benn's positive drugs test, which caused his clash with Chris Eubank Jr to be called off, according to the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC). After an unfortunate finding for clomifene at the start of September, Sportsmail announced last week that the British fighter was set for an investigation, with UKAD contacting the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) to investigate it. There had been doubts in the anti-doping community that the finer details of any deal between VADA and a boxer for pre-fight testing could be covered by the terms of their deal, with reports indicating that this could be a stipulation in the case where a private testing organization is hired as a result of a promotion.

Josh Warrington, the world featherweight champion, has asked for Conor Benn to serve a lifetime ban in the aftermath of his failed drug test due to his 'barbaric' nature of boxing. After being found positive for trace amounts of fertility hormone clomiphene, which raises testosterone levels, Benn's much-anticipated weekend match with Chris Eubank Jr was postponed. The 26-year-old maintains he is a good sport and posted on Instagram on Wednesday: 'I hope the apology is as loud as the disrespect'.

The match, which took place at a sold out O2 Arena, featured more than high-profile bouts Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano and Derek Chisora's 2022 solo, as well as Conor Benn and Josh Warrington's spectacular victory over Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year. After being coerced to pull out by history, versatile entertainer KSI began and ended the bill, including rapper Swarmz and 2-5 professional boxer Luis Pineda. An assortment of YouTubers and TikTok artists were also on display.
