Josh Warrington as you've never seen him before with emo lockdown haircut

The last person you would expect to be sporting an emo hairstyle is world champion boxer Josh Warrington, but the Leeds Warrior is having a bit of a nightmare during lockdown.

All barbers have been closed for almost three months now and plenty of us are suffering with horror haircuts.

A number of Josh's recent Instagram posts have seen him wearing a cap - and now we know why.

The undefeated IBF featherweight world champion has taken to Twitter today (Friday) without any headwear to prove that he is mortal after all and that even he has bad hair days.

His fans were quick to poke fun at his luscious new locks, with some suggesting that he looks like Scooby Doo character Shaggy, Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong - and even, god forbid, Justin Bieber.

Josh Warrington's lockdown hairstyle is... interesting (Twitter: @J_Warrington)

Josh posted the picture alongside the caption: "This lockdown(no barbers open), plus the usage of a ‘new’ shampoo has sent my hair west...

"I look like I should be in a emo indie rock band... GET ME THE SCISSORS. #lockdown #haircut #sos"

It's certainly a change to his usual smart hairstyle which fans have become so used to seeing in recent years, as Josh has risen rapidly through the ranks to become a global star.

And as much as some people might like it, we very much doubt Josh will be keeping the new hairstyle for much longer.
