Warrington vs Martinez: What’s been said?
Josh Warrington said: “I don’t think he’s going to turn up March 26 and start dancing round the ring with his hands down.
“What he brings is ferocious pace, he’s energetic and he throws lots of punches.
“I guarantee he’ll do the same and he probably thinks he can knock me out as well.
“He’s seen me be put on the canvas so he probably thinks I’m susceptible, but we’ll be ready for whatever he brings.”
