Josh Warrington announces latest world title fight at Leeds press conference - live updates

It was a tough bout last time around for Josh Warrington, who eventually made his way through a gruelling encounter with Sheffield's Kid Galahad to claim a points win.

That was the second world title defence for the 'Leeds Warrior', who thrust his name into the history books with huge wins over Lee Selby and Carl Frampton.

The Yorkshire fighter will take to the ring again in October, and while many expected a Stateside bout, Warrington will again appear in Leeds.

His third title defence will take place under the familiar lights of the First Direct Arena, where thousands of passionate Leeds fans will be in attendance once again.

If Warrington can navigate his way through this fight then a headline fight in the USA seems a certainty in the near future.
