Josh Warrington

Eddie Hearn has announced that a third fight Josh Warrington (30-1-1, 7 KOs) vs Mauricio Lara (23-2-1, 16 KOs) will probably take place as early as next year. Their rematch took place on Saturday night in Leeds, which after just two rounds was stopped due to an accidental head-to-head collision and a serious eyebrow injury to the Mexican.

In the main bout of the evening in Leeds, the rematch between Josh Warrington (30-1-1, 7 KOs) and Mauricio Lara (23-2-1, 16 KOs) ended in a technical draw when the Mexican suffered a serious brow injury in the second round after an unintentional head-on collision and was unable to continue the fight.

Josh Warrington's contract (30-1, 7 KOs) with Mauricio Lara (22-2, 15 KOs) included a rematch clause. However, it is not yet known whether the Englishman wants to have a second fight with the 22-year-old Mexican.

On February 12, the official weigh-in procedure took place on the eve of the boxing night, the venue of which will be London, Wembley Arena, Great Britain, in which Josh Warrington (30-0, 7 KOs) and Mauricio Lara (21-2, 14 KOs) will meet in the 10-round fight.

Eddie Hearn announced that he intends to make at least one evening a week under the Matchroom Boxing banner by the end of the year. The marathon kicks off on February 13 when former world featherweight champion Josh Warrington faces off against Mauricio Lara at Wembley Arena.
