    Can Lee Selby shut this crowd up? A few early punches to the Warrington face may just do that.

    Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 live

    I am just looking at Lee Selby right now he looks very relaxed.

    But he won’t have seen anything like this before.

    Selby v Warrington

    Here we go then, who you picking? Only six out of 26 fights from Warrington have ended early, with only nine knockouts in his 27-fight career from Selby.

    If he is looking bothered by the reception, Lee Selby is doing a good job of hiding it. Singing / rapping and dancing along as he makes his way into the ring.

  8. Here's the championpublished at 21:56 British Summer Time 19 May 2018

    And now comes the reigning champion.

    Boos ring out around the Elland Road stadium when Selby's face appears on the big screens around the ring.

    Will the Welshman be affected by a hostile welcome on away territory?

  9. 'Performance of his life needed'published at 21:55 British Summer Time 19 May 2018

    Mike Costello
    BBC Sport boxing correspondent at Elland Road

    If you look at Josh Warrington’s record, he will need the performance of his life. In 26 fights, only six have ended inside the distance. So you are looking at him having to out-box Lee Selby. As the bookmakers point out, that has to be deemed unlikely. Not impossible but unlikely.

    Selby is 1/4 with some bookmakers.

    Josh does look fired up, but he does not look too fired up. He looks confident and he looks focused.

  12. 'I'd rather punch him in the face'published at 21:53 British Summer Time 19 May 2018

    Selby v Warrington

    Lee Selby likes a bit of Cardiff City and when asked if he will rub in their new Premier League status when he faces Josh Warrington he told BBC Wales: "I could. But I'd rather punch him in the face to be honest.

    "He's a good fighter all round but I don't think it's a step up in class from my previous opponents.

    "That's just him as a person. I try to be myself but I just generally believe he is not a nice person".

    Put it this way - the Cardiff City fan will not be whispering 'Premier League' in his ear.

    Walking in with Josh Warrington is Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe. Spine-tingling stuff at Elland Road.

    The ring walk is one of boxing's great pieces of drama and to be fair UK fight nights tend to do it better than anywhere else.

    Tonight we will see Josh Warrington walk in to Kaiser Chiefs playing their hit 'I predict a Riot'. Lee Selby however is a hip hop fan. Wu Tang Clan (pictured) were the inspiration behind his love of this genre and thesedays he ring walks to the Big L track 'Lifestyles of the poor and dangerous' because he says as a young fighter he was "poor and dangerous".

  15. What a reception for Warringtonpublished at 21:52 British Summer Time 19 May 2018

    And here comes Josh Warrington, predictably to 'Marching On Together' the Leeds United anthem and then 'I Predict A Riot' by Kaiser Chiefs (playing it live).

    What a night. This is what dreams are made of. He has waited a long time, and worked very hard throughout his career. Tonight is your big chance, Josh.

    Tyson Fury on BBC Radio 5 live: "I expect a lively affair with lots of tension and an electric atmosphere.

    "Selby doesn’t have to quieten the passionate crowd, he just has to do what he does best and box, that’s it.

    "When I went to Germany with over 40,000 fans in the crowd, I actually thought I did better with that crowd against me.

    "As a world champion I think Selby has to have the mental strength.

    "I am feeling fantastic and this is giving me a taste of what’s come, big nights for British boxing."
