Leeds star Luke Ayling filmed launching X-rated rant after Josh Warrington fight ends in frustrating draw over headbutt

LEEDS UNITED star Luke Ayling launched a ringside X-rated rant after Josh Warrington was cruelly denied redemption against Mauricio Lara.

On his big night under the lights at Headingley Stadium in Leeds, Warrington had to settle for a technical draw after Lara suffered a brutal cut.

The two boxers clashed heads in the second round, with a gash opening across the length of Lara’s eyelid by the end.

Just six months earlier Lara had stunned the boxing world by knocking out the previously unbeaten Warrington in the ninth round in their Wembley Arena clash.

Warrington was adamant it was time for revenge – but he was denied in devastating fashion.

And Ayling was as fuming as the Leeds Warrior was at the early finish.

The former Arsenal youth player was filmed ringside appearing to flick the Vs and mouthing expletives as the fight was waved off.

Speaking after his West Yorkshire disappointment, Warrington said: “All these people wanted to see me get redemption tonight.

“I thought I opened him up with a punch in the first round but a clash of styles, my head hit him.

“I’m absolutely gutted.

“I wanted to put on a performance and that was always going to come at some point, I felt I was really getting into it,” added Warrington.

“I know my promoter Eddie Hearn might want to look in other directions but I need to get this slate cleared, I need to get the W over this man.

“Especially after the second round I sat down and said ‘this is mine for the taking’, I could see it being an early night but not in this kind of scenario.

“Weeks and weeks of promotion, all of these people came out and I can only say sorry, we will have our redemption.”

Ayling was just one ringside fan to vent their frustration at the technical draw
