Galahad: "I’ve Got
Unfinished Business" |
|
Kid Galahad says he has
unfinished business with reigning IBF World Champion
Josh Warrington ahead of his Final Eliminator clash with
Claudio Marrero on the undercard of Kell Brook vs. Mark
DeLuca at the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield on Saturday
February 8, shown live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN

controversial split decision after 12 close rounds, but
the Sheffield ace has a golden opportunity to land a
rematch when he faces ‘The Matrix’ next week.
