Josh Warrington claims he can’t dream of a huge unification world title clash with Leigh Wood until he takes care of Kiko Martinez.
Promoter Eddie Hearn wants to stage WBA featherweight champ Wood against Warrington either at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground or Elland Road. Warrington, 31, can win back his IBF crown from Martinez on March 26 at Leeds’ First Direct Arena and says he has learnt from his shock loss to Mauricio Lara last year not to overlook anyone.
“Yes, the prospect of Leigh Wood can give me extra motivation because you know it could be a potential fight after this,” the Leeds fighter told Mirror Sport. “But at the same time, no, because you don’t want to get too carried away and distracted and look past the man in front of you.
