Well done Warrington, make the good fights and the money

Warrington is one of my favourite Brit fighters. Not a lot of power, but entertaining at the utmost. Will tune in for this...

Kid Galahad and Jazza Dickens are set for an all-British contest for the vacant IBF world featherweight title.

Former champion Josh Warrington gave up the title in January after holding the belt since May 2018.

Galahad, 30, lost to Warrington in 2019 but will have a second shot at a world title against Liverpool's Dickens, 29.

Management company MTK Global announced they had won the rights to stage the fight and said a date and venue would be announced "in due course".

Galahad beat Dickens with a 10th-round stoppage when they fought for the British title at super-bantamweight in 2013.

The Sheffield fighter has just one defeat in 28 outings as a professional, while Dickens has 30 wins and three defeats on his record.

Good on Warrington tossing the trinket after having the 'nerve' to intend to unify. We know these belt syndicates just can't have that now . Looks like DAZN will be running cards back to back with Joseph Diaz v Rakhimov from the West coast.

I like Warrington; good all-action fighter. There are a few parallels to be drawn with Hatton. Interesting to see where he goes from here and if he can amass a similar following if the big fights present themselves.

There are definitely some similarities there though i am not sure he has Hatton's finishing instinct and it will be hard for him to repeat that kind of people pulling power, particularly after Covid.

Good luck to the fella though. He has already surprised many with getting where he has.

Warrington should get the win by a wide points margin.
Both are lacking in power with low KO% so I'd be surprised if we see a stoppage.

No, he certainly doesn't have the stopping power that Hatton had and perhaps his lifestyle outside of the ring seems to be much more controlled, but I find him particularly likeable.

I hope he does well.
