In the ninth round Lara landed three left hooks to the chin followed by a right to the body and a final left hook to the chin of Warrington and down he went and out! It took over five minutes to get him back on the stool.

”Simply it’s been a great night for my family and the people back in Mexico. We worked really hard for this fight. We worked round by round. We knew he was number one in the world. I’m looking forward to seeing my wife and daughter when I get back home,” said Lara. Lara’s right eye was bruised and close to being closed.

“Josh hadn’t fought for sixteen months and I told him Lara can punch so box him but he came out fighting,” said Eddie Hearn.
