Report: Josh Warrington’s Next World Title Fight Ordered By The IBF

Leeds’ IBF world featherweight champion Josh Warrington has been ordered to face Kid Galahad by the IBF in his next defence according to Michael Benson.

Here is what his Tweet says today:

📝 Told by the IBF that Josh Warrington has today been officially ordered to defend his featherweight world title against mandatory challenger Kid Galahad. They have until February 6th (30 days) to negotiate, then purse bids are set. As previously stated, no exceptions allowed.

Warrington recently beat Carl Frampton of Belfast in a classic fight last month.

Perhaps the best fight of the year in the eyes of many.

Warrington has been consistently proving people wrong in recent times and is clearly not afraid of taking on not only some of the best domestic competition available to him but the best in the world too.

If this report proves to be true another tough domestic test awaits the champion next up.
