Josh happy home or away

JOSH WARRINGTON has warned Carl Frampton he doesn’t need a packed Elland Road behind him to win a big fight.

The Leeds lad (right) claimed his IBF World featherweight title from Lee Selby at the famous stadium in May.

His first defence, however, will be across the Pennines at the Manchester Arena on Saturday.

Warrington said:

“My first 15 fights were on the road,

I’ve boxed away from home many times. I used to get excited about being the away fighter because you just want to turn round and silence their fans. My last seven fights, I’ve boxed at home and, ob obviously, for the last o one, I had a packed stadium behind me.

“But this is going t to be 50-50 in terms of noise and it gets to a stage where you don’t need to rely on the crowd any longer.”
