Warrington vacated the belt back in January 2021, but things didn't go to plan with two frustrating fights against Mauricio Lara.
Kiko Martinez stands in his way, and the pair have history at the venue with Warrington winning via a majority decision back in 2017 to retain the WBC international title.While Warrington is wary of the Spaniard, the Leeds boxer has no doubt that he'll be victorious in front of a packed out arena in his hometown come Saturday night.
He said:"I have been to First Direct Arena more than Tom Jones! My fans are so loyal, and I appreciate that."I am grateful to Kiko for coming to Leeds. I must have upset him as he demanded this fight."We were meant to be sparring partners for a future fight. He's confident - but I am ready for what he will bring.FACE OFF :triumph:
