Warrington last fought on 26th March 2022 at the First Direct Arena in Leeds. He faced and subsequently beat Kiko Martinez to regain the IBF Featherweight title that he had previously vacated.
The victory came at a cost, though, as Warrington suffered a broken jaw and a hand injury, leaving him with an extended absence from the ring.

Salvador “Chava” Rodriguez of ESPN Deportes first reported through a tweet that a deal was reached with Mexican Luis Alberto Lopez, to which talkSPORT’s Michael Benson has backed up.
Lopez is the mandatory challenger for Warrington’s IBF title, who has been the mandatory challenger since beating Isaac Lowe in December 2021 but has had to bide his time with two more victories until his world title opportunity.
