Josh Warrington’s reaction to the third Lara battle



IBF World Featherweight Champion Josh Warrington has talked about whether he’d be open to a three-part bout against Mauricio Lara in the not-too-distant future.

Boxing fans were shocked when Warrington was stopped by the relatively unknown Lara during a lockdown in February 2021 after dropping his first IBF belt in hopes of pursuing greater achievements. . The rematch took place at a packed Headingley Stadium in September of that year, but the match turned out to be disappointing as a clash of heads resulted in a technical draw after just two the match.

Talking to TalkSPORTWarrington confirmed that he will happily face tough Mexico for a third time, as well as marking another potential opponent.

“I personally enjoyed booking Lara [the situation] go to sleep. A lot of people are saying ‘He’s got your number, he’s your saint, you don’t have to face him’ but you know, he caught me on a bad night. “

“I will [fight Leigh Wood if he beats Lara next]. The Battle of Leigh Wood was a major domestic war. “

After winning the IBF belt in March, stopping Kiko Martinez, the ‘Leeds Warriors’ made it clear that he wanted to settle the conversation with Lara once and for all if he made it past his required challenger, Luis Alberto Lopez, on December 10.

Since the Warrington rematch, Lara has won two straight games, both by knockout, and was later signed to face Leigh Wood for his WBA World title. The fight was originally fought in September in Nottingham, however Wood was forced to withdraw from the fight due to injury. Wood has expressed a desire to be rescheduled, but he admits that a fight with WBA Super title holder Leo Santa Cruz is more likely.
