Josh Warrington admits he was ashamed to be seen in public after his shock defeat by a relatively unknown boxer, as he attempts to rescue his career on Saturday in the full glare of a 20,000 crowd.
Warrington, the first fighter from Leeds to win a world title, has home advantage for his rematch against Mexican Mauricio Lara at the Emerald Headingley Stadium, where the scrutiny will be as anxious as the support vociferous.
Whether that cauldron will be boiling enough to discourage Lara seems unlikely, since he was just as far from his home when he came to Wembley Arena seven months ago and inflicted the two knock-down stoppages which ended the Leeds Warrior’s unbeaten record.
