Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe revealed that he was reminded why the city holds such a special place in his heart after witnessing Josh Warrington's defeat of Lee Selby on Saturday.

Radebe, who spent 11 years with the Whites, joined the club in 1994 and went on to make over 200 appearances for Leeds whilst captaining both club and country.

The Chief joined 'Leeds Warrior' Warrington for his ring walk ahead of his IBF featherweight title showdown against Welshman Selby in which the 27-year-old went on to win in on points in an enthralling encounter in the open air of Elland Road.

Radebe though revealed afterwards that he felt he had returned to his real home on a night that Warrington made history by bringing a first boxing world title to the city.
