I can handle the raucous fans in Leeds, says Selby
WALES’ IBF world featherweight champion Lee Selby is not concerned by the hostile reception he’s set to receive in Leeds this Saturday night.
Selby makes the fifth defence of his belt against unbeaten mandatory challenger Josh Warrington at Elland Road.
Selby — who could defend his title against Carl Frampton at Windsor Park in August should he win — said: “I’ve done all kinds of sparring from unbeaten prospects to former world champions and world-level contenders.
“If I was going to train to fight myself, I wouldn’t know how to go about it because I’m different every fight. I can adapt.
“It’s my second time fighting in a full stadium outdoors and it’s going be a big crowd. I can’t wait.
“The environment doesn’t make any difference to me at all.”
