Warburton dedicated the win to his son Roman, who proudly held aloft the WBA Continental belt following the fight.<\/p>\n
“It must be amazing for him to see his dad do so well,” Warburton said.<\/p>\n
“Obviously being in front of over 15,000 people in a big massive arena, he’s living a fairytale story – we see movies and stuff like that.<\/p>\n
“I want to make him so proud as well.”<\/p>\n
Bodelwyddan-born Warburton made his professional debut in 2019 and three years later won the Welsh middleweight title with victory over Morgan Jones.<\/p>\n
Warburton was beaten by Kieron Conway for the vacant British middleweight title in May 2025, one of two losses he has suffered n 21 professional bouts.<\/p>\n
“I’ve always been a down-to-earth person and I think I’m there now to show the kids that you can do something if you put all the hard work in,” Warburton added.<\/p>\n
“I wasn’t the most talented of boxers from a young age, but I put the hard work in and I think that’s what it’s about now.<\/p>\n
“It’s about getting more wins and leaving a belt and showing the younger generation that it can be done, not just boxing, but any sport or anything that they do.<\/p>\n
“Hard work and dedication will get you a long way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warburton dedicated the win to his son Roman, who proudly held aloft the WBA Continental belt following the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519675,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-519674","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
