We are hearing that Lee Selby will not be doing any media interviews tonight, presumably as he heads off to hospital to get those two cuts checked out and stitched up.

But where next professionally for Selby? That was only a second professional defeat in 28 contests and his first loss in nine years

There will certainly be calls for a rematch, but maybe a move up a weight to super-featherweight is next for the 31-year-old.

Josh Warrington made history by becoming the first boxer from Leeds to win a world title with a stunning split-decision upset victory over Wales' Lee Selby.

Selby, who was cut above both eyes by accidental head clashes inside the first six rounds, could not recover from a superb start from the Yorkshireman.

The judges scored the contest 116-112 115-113 113-115, giving Warrington the IBF world featherweight title at Elland Road, home of his beloved Leeds United.

Warrington came into the fight as a 4-1 outsider with the bookmakers but produced the performance of a lifetime, showing relentless energy and courage as he continued to power forward for 36 pulsating minutes.

Rio GB Olympian Qais Ashfaq praises the Warrington family for proving the doubters wrong.

Dave Baker: How can there be such disparity in the scorecards? How on earth did one of the judges have Lee Selby winning that? Something needs to be done to improve the boxing scorecards.

Daniel Barker: Should never been a split decision Warrington won by at least five rounds.

Mark‏: This happens far too often in boxing, Warrington won that by a country mile

Carl Frampton told BT Sport: "I want that fight, I want a world champion.

"It was a hard fight, but if he does not have sore hands, if he does not have a sore jaw, he can take a week off and get back in the gym.

"You will see my in August, but I don't know who against."

Josh Warrington on fighting Carl Frampton soon: "My heart says lets get it on, I am a big fan of Carl and it will be a big pay day!

"But I prefer the end of the year as I need some time to be a dad and let this sink in."

No fighter from Leeds has ever got their hands on a world title. Until now, of course.

The cameras are in Josh Warrington's dressing room. Leeds legend Lucas Radebe is there and everyone is hugging and congratulating Warrington. The emotional fighter is on the verge of tears.

Life ambition = achieved.

New IBF world featherweight champion Josh Warrington told BBC Radio 5 live: “I was a massive, massive underdog tonight. There was no way I was going to lose tonight; I would have walked through walls to win that belt.

“From the first bell to the last there was a lot of energy. The crowd just give you another level, another gear.

“I am not the most talented, I am probably not the fittest, but I have heart.

“Five years ago I was getting a bus to work as a dental technician and now I am a world champion.

“I have turned a dream into reality.”

Northern Ireland's Carl Frampton is scheduled to be fighting at Windsor Park in Belfast on 18 August with his interim WBO World Featherweight Championship on the line.

However, his opponent is not yet known so will it be a unification fight with two belts on the line with Warrington's IBF strap also up for grabs?

"I would love to fight Josh Warrington," Frampton tells BT Sport. "I would love him to come to Belfast and fight me. It was a fantastic performance.

"My next fight will be in Belfast, that's all I know."

Josh Warrington's promoter Frank Warren says: "We will meet up next week and decide what direction we go in.

"Everyone, all the media had Josh as an underdog, but I knew he had it in him, the Leeds fans were brilliant. Josh showed tonight he is world class, a true champion and I'm so proud of him."

On whether Carl Frampton v Josh Warrington will happen: "They are two massive draws, that is a big, big fight, that goes into a massive stadium."

New IBF world featherweight champion Josh Warrington says: "I can't put it into words, I've worked hard over the last 18 weeks and during that time I've had two baby girls born. I'm overcome with emotion, it was sheer grit, and the crowd got me through this.

"There were times in that fight when the roar of the crowd kept pushing me forward and gave me that second gear when I needed it.

"Lee is a very good fighter and anyone who has rushed in against him has lost. I out boxed the boxer tonight."

On a potential fight with Carl Frampton in Belfast, Warrington says: "I don't mind going anywhere, I've been a fan of Carl's and two weeks ago I said I would beat Lee Selby and come to Windsor Park. We will sit down with Frank Warren and get the fight sorted."

It's a fantastic performance and he has sent a statement out to the featherweight division.

I don't think he will be ready to face Carl Frampton on August 18. It would be unfair for Josh Warrington to do that. Three months turnaround is far too much.

A lot of us have overlooked Josh Warrington. He has shocked a lot of people tonight.

"I predict a riot" by the Kaiser Chiefs started us off, and that is now playing again. The party starts now.

Leeds is going to be a bit lively tonight.

The IBF needs to get the judges in and explain this. For someone to score that fight in favour of Lee Selby I can't understand.

For the first time this evening Josh Warrington loses control and falls to the canvas. A special night in the sporting history of this city. The performance of his career.

I can not see in any way how a judge gives that to Selby. What has gone on there, what have they seen?

Josh Warrington is the new world champion.

Incredibly it is a split decision verdict. The first judge has it as 115-113 to Selby, a decision that is widely booed by the home fans, and the second judge has it 116-112 to Warrington.

The third, and deciding, judge has it as 115-113 to Warrington.

The Leeds man has done it. The first ever world champion from the city.
