Boxing never fails to entertain fans. Outside the ring drama between the boxers is as exciting and entertaining as fights inside the ring. The relationship between the two boxers ahead of their fight fuels the passion for brutal boxing inside the ring. Recently, Mauricio Lara became the WBA featherweight champion after his win against Leigh Wood via a seventh-round stoppage. After the fight, fans thought it was time to leave, but Lara and the British boxer Josh Warrington had something else on their mind for the fans.

Lara and Warrington clashed ringside after the Mexican’s win. The duo has a love-hate relationship that goes way back. Seeing these two fighters argue, ringside fans could not hold themselves back.
All about the ringside drama
Michael Benson from TalkSport shared a video on his Twitter handle, of the verbal argument between Lara and Warrington. Josh Warrington claims that Lara spat on him, which led to the altercation. Both boxers can be seen being held back from getting to each other.
The tale of Lara and Warrington goes back to 2021 when both the boxers fought each other in the first fight, which took place in February. Lara won the bout via a ninth-round knockout. After the loss to Lara, Warrington sought revenge, but he faced disappointment when they met again in the ring in September. In the second fight, ‘Bronco Lara’ incurred a cut above his eye, leading to a technical draw between the boxers.
The former IBF lightweight champion, Josh Warrington, lost his last bout against Luis Alberto Lopez via majority decision. He ended up losing his title to Lopez. However, Warrington and Lara have shown their desire for a third fight between the two to end their rivalry and settle it once and for all.
