Johnny Nelson looks ahead to the Josh Warrington v Patrick Hyland card
Wednesday 6 July 2016 00:07, UK
Josh Warrington will enjoy boisterous home support when he takes on Patrick Hyland, and Johnny Nelson looks ahead to the show.
Leeds' favourite featherweight (23-0-KO4) fights at the First Direct Arena on July 30; taking on Ireland's Hyland (31-2-KO15) as the headline act of a show that also includes Dillian Whyte, Ryan Burnett and Tyrone Nurse v Tommy Coyle.
Hyland was most recently in action at the very top level - falling to a second-round stoppage defeat to WBC world featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
In Warrington, he faces an unbeaten 25-year-old still dreaming of his own world title shot having missed out on the chance to face IBF champion Lee Selby this summer.
Can the home fighter take an important step towards the big time or will 'The Punisher' prove he deserves another opportunity against the divisional elite?
