Join Bloody Elbow today (Saturday, December 22nd) for live play-by-play results and discussion of this IBF featherweight title match between reigning champion Josh Warrington (27-0, 6 KOs) and Carl Frampton (26-1, 15 KOs). It’s an all-UK battle on a busy day for British boxing, and this one comes from Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
Warrington won the belt from fellow Brit Lee Selby in a thrilling split decision in front of his home fans in Leeds. This is the first defense of his title, and it’s against the former WBA champion in the same weight class. Frampton lost his belt to Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch last year, but he’s won his last three fights and is on the hunt for 126 lbs supremacy yet again.
