Boxing tonight: Schedules, live streams, how to watch Josh Warrington vs Kiko Martinez 2
Josh Warrington will bid to become a two-time featherweight world champion tonight when he rematches Kiko Martinez at the First Direct Arena in Leeds. The pair first collided way back in February 2017 when the Leeds warrior successfully edged the Spaniard by majority decision after 12 rounds of action.
A lot has happened since then, particularly in Warrington's rollercoaster career that has faced several hurdles in recent times.
After deciding to vacate his IBF featherweight world title in pursuit of the big fights in Las Vegas, the 31-year-old was rocked by a major upset.
Mexican underdog Mauricio Lara brutally stopped Warrington in early 2020 when he knocked him out at the Wembley Arena behind closed doors.
His shot at revenge was then wiped from beneath his feet when an accidental head clash saw the rematch waved off after just a few rounds last September.
Meanwhile, in a year full of upsets, seasoned veteran Martinez enjoyed his moment in the limelight when he successfully dethroned IBF champ Kid Galahad in Sheffield last November.
Now Warrington is looking to win back his old red strap on his road to redemption.
