Josh Warrington will fight five more fighters after Kiko Martinez's rematch win, which also includes Leigh Wood unification.

After saving his career, JOSH WARRINGTON is now ready for a major unification bout or American debut.

Eddie Hearn, promoter of Kiko Martinez warned that defeat could have forced Warrington to retire.

Martinez, 36, was defeated by the Leeds hero. Martinez was stopped in the seventh round.

Leigh Wood (WBA champion), 33, and an away day across pond were both immediately mentioned after the fight.

Here SunSport lists Warrington's options after he reclaimed his IBF title.

Leigh Wood

Wood won the WBA's secondary regular' title last year with a surprise upset of Can Xu (28).

He won his first defense by scoring a come from behind knockout of year against Michael Conlan (30) in the final round.

Although a rematch is being considered, the opportunity to unify his belt with Warrington, bringing together the Nottingham and Leeds faithful's, may be too tempting to pass up.

Leo Santa Cruz

Although technically still the WBA's full champion, the Mexican 33-year-old has not been able to defend his belt since 2019.

Santa Cruz, who has been running at super-featherweight since then, could be lured back by Warrington (31).

Santa Cruz is the most popular name in the market, as the Brits are desperate to travel across the pond.

Mark Magsayo

Gary Russell Jr., 33, was for a long while the man Stateside. He was then upset by Mark Magsayo (26), in January when Magsayo lost the WBC belt.

Magsayo was mentored by Manny Pacquiao (boxing legend) and has since been a featherweight champion.

Warrington fights are sure to be exciting and offer two titles for the winner.

Emanuel Navarrete

For ten years, Navarrete, 27, has been unbeaten and is now one of the most respected fighters on the planet.

Ring Magazine and other publications rank the Mexican No1; Warrington has the opportunity to be the best.

Navarrete is the WBO champion since 2020. He has also been released from Top Rank and is now a free agent, making it easier to negotiate.

Mauricio Lara trilogy

Last February, Warrington returned to behind-closed doors against Lara.

The Mexican, 24 years old, proved to be a powerful opponent who brutally defeated Warrington in round nine.

The match was rematch in September, but Lara's cut caused a no contest. A trilogy bout is still possible.
