Josh Warrington frustrated by unification bout failing to materialise
Josh Warrington was once again left frustrated by a unification bout failing to materialise, leading the IBF featherweight titlist to lament: “The other champions don’t seem to want it.”
After a split decision points victory over mandatory challenger Kid Galahad in June, Warrington had high hopes of a Stateside fight against WBO champion Oscar Valdez.
However, Valdez has decided to move up to super-featherweight while WBA beltholder Leo Santa Cruz and WBC champion Gary Russell Jr are apparently uninterested in challenging the Leeds fighter for the time being.
Warrington will instead return to the First Direct Arena in his home city on October 12 to defend his world crown for the third time against little-known Frenchman Sofiane Takoucht.
