Leeds vibrates with its football team, but it is not the only thing that excites the city. One of its most illustrious citizens, Josh Warrington (30-1, 7 KO) He is playing it this Saturday and his countrymen know it. The Headingley Rugby League Stadium will roar with the ‘Leeds Warrior’, who He is facing the fight that can mark his career. There will be no title at stake, but a belt is not necessary when there are more important things to recover. Nobody can forget the image of the Englishman, 30 years old, in the month of February. WArrington wandered the ring for several rounds until Mauricio Lara (23-2, 16 KO) knocked him out. The ‘Bronco’ had given the surprise. Was it the end of the former world champion? Many ventured to say it, but Josh has a revalidation this Saturday (8:00 p.m., DAZN).
The move of the English was risky. He left the IBF Featherweight World Cup to think about great fights without the pressure of an organism (He had a mandatory challenger with whom he had to fight). Gary Russell’s name kept ringing. The plan was clear: remove the rust after a year and four months without boxing before looking to the United States.. For that purpose they put a young Mexican (23 years old) who had to give him a job, but not represent a threat. Everything went wrong for them. Lara fought a battle, drowned Warrington and hurt him a lot with her hands. From having everything to not staying at all.
From an easy situation he now becomes a very complex one. Warrington wants revenge, but a new defeat could leave him far from the big fights. He knows it as well as his team, that is why they wanted him to feel the support of theirs. It is only worth winning. In the bets the favorite English. Obviously the margin is much smaller than in February, but on paper it has that square. He has fought better opponents and it is believed from England that he had a bad day. We will have to see it and the confidence has to be zero. Warrington is a technically better man, but he must come out with confidence if there is a trade and that after a KO as ugly as the one he received is not easy. In addition, Lara has in her favor the confidence of the winner and who has nothing to lose. The bet this time is tough, but Josh wanted revenge. The war is served. Large door or infirmary for the ‘Leeds Warrior’.
Katie Taylor exhibits her four crowns at the co-star
The event that Matchroom organizes in Leeds is very powerful. The long-awaited rematch between Warrington and Lara is joined by important names, such as that of Katie Taylor (18-0, 6 KO). The Irish, 35, exposes the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO World Championships of the lightweight against Jennifer Han (18-3-1, 1 KO). After a difficult defense against Natasha Jonas (May 2021), Taylor seeks to continue shooting while waiting for great fights. Amanda Serrano is the rival against whom we all want to see her, but it seems that we will have to wait … the Puerto Rican won last Sunday against Yamileth Mercado and pointed out that she wants to unify the pen before meeting the Irish. Waiting time, but without the option of errors. In the same event, the combat between Conor Benn (18-0, 12 KO) and Adrián Granados (21-8-3, 15 KO). The duel will have a WBA intermediate belt at welterweight, but it is a new test for the English prospect, who could not contest this fight a month ago after contracting coronavirus. Despite the short time, he is recovered and wants to show it in the ring.
