Josh Warrington and Ebanie Bridges press conference start time and live stream

Josh Warrington will speak on Thursday ahead of his highly anticipated IBF featherweight title fight against Luis Alberto Lopez on Saturday.

The Leeds Warrior regained his featherweight crown with a win against Kiko Martinez in March, bouncing back from a defeat and a loss to Mauricio Lara in 2021.

He will be joined at the press conference by Ebanie Bridges, who defends her IBF bantamweight title against compatriot Shannon O'Connell at the First Direct Arena.

What else do I need to know?

Warrington regained his title in March, beating Spain's Kiko Martinez in front of a home crowd. That win was an impressive return, with the 32-year-old claiming that people had written him off following a shock defeat to Mauricio Lara in 2021 before winning his rematch against the Mexican at Headingley last September.

He will be joined on the card by Bridges, with the Australian star a favourite of the Yorkshire public due to her public support for Leeds United. Bridges (8-1, 3 KOs) defends her IBF Bantamweight World Title against O'Connell (23-6-1, 11 KOs) in an all-Australian clash in Yorkshire.
