Josh Warrington to compete in WBC eliminator

British featherweight Josh Warrington will face Dennis Tubieron in an eliminator for the WBC title in Leeds on April 11.

British featherweight Josh Warrington will be hoping to take a step towards a world title shot when he faces Dennis Tubieron in Leeds on April 11.

The 24-year-old's victories over Rendall Munroe, Martin Lindsay and Davide Dieli have seen the Yorkshire fighter become European champion, as well as earning a ranking with three of the world governing bodies.

However, Tubieron, who has 19 wins from 24 outings, is likely to pose the toughest test of Warrington's career, but a win over the 25-year-old could potentially leave the Brit just a couple of fights away from a chance to compete for the WBC title.

It has been announced that Nathan Cleverly will also feature on the bill as he returns to the light-heavyweight division after suffering defeat to Tony Bellew at cruiserweight in November.
