The veteran Spaniard was down in the first round after a brilliant right hand.

Warrington then landed a heavy shot in the seventh and with Martinez struggling with cuts from all the punishment he’d taken, Warrington stepped up the pace.
After unleashing a flurry of shots, the ref stepped in to end the fight and give Warrington back the belt he’d vacated in January 2021.
