Warrington was fully ready to take on Xu, but negotiations with the Chinese fighter didn’t go in the right direction as the latter was not happy to fight without spectators. Since the IBF has refused to sanction the fight, Warrington has decided to drop the belt to face Xu.
Warrington is keen to prove that he is the king of the featherweight division, after several bouts where he made the headlines for positive reasons both in America and in the UK. He has terrific punching power but has only won seven of his 30 professional fights by knockout. That includes the last one he had against Sohiane Takoucht in October 2019.

Who will win Josh Warrington v Mauricio Lara fight?
His opponent Lara, from Mexico, is coming to England on the back of 21 wins and 2 defeats, 14 of those by knockout. Undoubtedly, his stats look good, but the reality is that he has never faced someone of Warrington’s quality.
Even if Warrington is not used to winning many bouts by knockout, we believe that he will win by this method. We don’t see Lara causing him too many problems and the Englishman will want to make a statement in this home bout. A win from him by in early-round looks likely.
