Leeds United‘s Crysencio Summerville has been selected for Josh Warrington title fight duty ahead of his fight against Luis Alberto Lopez next weekend.

Summerville, 21, has been electric for Leeds in recent months, scoring four goals in four games as the Whites climbed out of the relegation places.

Leeds’ new star has been one of the bright points of Jesse Marsch‘s side and has made himself virtually undroppable on his way to becoming the teams’ second top scorer this season.
