Josh Warrington inspired by Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow

Episode one of 'Homemade' tells the story of Leeds through the eyes of Warrington, who became the first male boxing champion from the city when he defeated Lee Selby to claim the IBF featherweight title in 2018.

He went on to defend his title three times before vacating the belt earlier this year.

The film will feature former former Leeds United captain Dom Matteo, Leeds United FC Ladies legend Lucy Ward, one of Leeds Rhinos’ greatest ever players Jamie Jones-Buchanan and 8-time Muay Thai champion Liam Harrison.
