Elland Road, I can rock with that.

Leeds Rhinos are playing away in Newcastle that day, which will sap a lot of potential support for Josh

Living in Leeds myself and going to Warrington’s last few fights...this really should have been at Leeds Arena, Josh doesn’t fill the arena out (13,000 capacity) so I’m baffled why Warren has decided to put this fight in a 40,000 seater...no way it fills, if there’s 20,000 there I’ll be shocked.

Not trying to be harsh as I’ll be there for sure but neither guys have the profile in the U.K to be in stadium fights (maybe if he was fighting Frampton)

Don’t get me wrong Leeds is a brilliant city for backing local lads but I struggle to envision 40,000 fans especially if Leeds Utd are playing that weekend.

Agreed

Can't see the undercard being stacked either.
