Warrington-Lopez for the IBF title in November

Josh Warrington (31-1-1, 8 KOs) will make his first IBF featherweight title defense in Leeds in November. The British will face Luis Alberto Lopez (24-2, 14 KOs).

The 28-year-old Mexican is the official contender for the title of the International Boxing Federation. In his recent performances, Lopez defeated Isaac Lowe and Raul Chirino.

Warrington won the IBF belt in March by defeating Kiko Martinez. In this fight, the Briton earned a broken jaw, but has already returned to the training room.
