Kiko Martinez vs Josh Warrington live stream: How to watch fight online and on TV this weekend

This Saturday night, a rematch five years in the making sees Kiko Martinez take on Josh Warrington in hostile territory.

In 2017, the First Direct Arena in Leeds was the scene of Warrington’s controversial hometown victory over Martinez, whom the “Leeds Warrior” outpointed over 12 rounds.

Now, the pair return to the same venue as Martinez looks to exact revenge, putting his IBF featherweight title on the line in the process.

Warrington (30-1-1, 7 knockouts) was unbeaten in 30 fights before losing to Mauricio Lara last February and drawing with the Mexican in September. Martinez (43-10-2, 30 KOs), meanwhile, is seeking a third straight win with this first defence of the title that he took from Kid Galahad in November.
