Josh Warrington believes it is "written in the stars" that he will be able to hold a unification fight at Elland Road in the same season Leeds United return to the Premier League.

The Leeds Warrior's bid for a 30th-successive professional win coincides with the centenary celebrations of his beloved Leeds.

The 28-year-old won his IBF Featherweight title the club's home ground last year and has hopes of unifying the featherweight division in the same stadium.
