Josh Warrington to compete in WBC eliminator

British featherweight Josh Warrington will be hoping to take a step towards a world title shot when he faces Dennis Tubieron in Leeds on April 11.

The 24-year-old's victories over Rendall Munroe, Martin Lindsay and Davide Dieli have seen the Yorkshire fighter become European champion, as well as earning a ranking with three of the world governing bodies.

However, Tubieron, who has 19 wins from 24 outings, is likely to pose the toughest test of Warrington's career, but a win over the 25-year-old could potentially leave the Brit just a couple of fights away from a chance to compete for the WBC title.

It has been announced that Nathan Cleverly will also feature on the bill as he returns to the light-heavyweight division after suffering defeat to Tony Bellew at cruiserweight in November.
