“First a dirty quarter pounder from Maccys… ?? Greeeaaasssseeee…”

Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that he expects to see Lara and Warrington run it back in the summer.

He said: “Josh is good, I mean obviously it was a complete shock.

“He was a big favourite going into the fight, you can see what might’ve gone wrong.

“Was it no fans? Was it the inactivity? Was it complacency? Was it just Lara came out with an unbelievable performance? But the reality is I think he’s gonna wanna do it again.

“It’s very dangerous, but that’s the fire in him…

“All the talk at the moment from Josh is he wants to fight Lara again. Super risky, but summertime I believe you’ll see Warrington vs Lara II.

“Yes, that one [will be in Leeds], we’ll do it with a crowd this time.”
