IBF world champion Josh Warrington looks too aggressive to collide against Luis Alberto Lopez for their IBF featherweight title fight at Leeds Arena on Saturday night.

Warrington (31-1-1, 8 KOs) fights against Luis Alberto Lopez (26-2, 15 KOs) from Mexico, in his second reign as champion after he suffered a broken jaw in a seventh-round stoppage win over Kiko Martinez in March.

Warrington is among the best-supported and most popular fighters in the United Kingdom. He has been campaigning at the top of the sport for most of his career and has been involved in memorable contests.

Luis brings a professional card that lists 26 wins against two defeats, with 15 KO wins and both losses on the scorecards. At just 5ft 4 inches tall, he's far from the biggest featherweight, but he's strong, works hard, and what he concedes in height, he more than makes up for in work ethic.

Both defeats came earlier in his career when Luis lost a split decision to Abraham Montoya for a Mexican title in 2018. He then went unbeaten until running into Ruben Villa in the United States in the spring of 2019. Since his last defeat, Lopez has fought and won nine times, with seven coming inside the distance.
