Kiko Martinez vs. Josh Warrington 2: List of odds, favourites, markets, prediction and betting trends

Following a loss and draw with Mauricio Lara last year, it seemed like another world title opportunity was not on Warrington's radar.

However, Warrington was a name which Martinez was calling out after his shock knockout win against Kid Galahad to claim the IBF belt and now a chance to become a two-time world champion has presented itself to The Leeds Warrior. 

If Warrington wins, a huge unification clash with Leigh Wood this Summer or that elusive trip to America awaits, lose and it could be time for the 31-year-old to hang up the gloves for good. 

Saturday night has the potential to be another memorable event live on DAZN and there are plenty of bets to be made so let's take a look.

Martinez vs. Warrington 2 prediction 

This isn't the first time these two have met. Martinez and Warrington went head-to-head in 2017 in a fight which many fans try to forget. Warrington triumphed with a majority decision, but it was a fight which many thought The Leeds Warrior would win with a knockout or stoppage.

Now, the pair meet once again, but unlike last time where Martinez seemed to be on the way out, he has been revitalised following the win over Galahad. 

Some doubts have crept in as to whether Warrington has anything left, but with the backing of his passionate Leeds fanbase, Warrington will always have a chance.

If he is to beat Kiko, Warrington will have to avoid the wars he is often known for and box. Martinez showed against Galahad he is someone who will not stop walking forward and still possesses that one punch knockout power, therefore keeping the IBF champion at range is key.
