Warrington was ranked by Ring magazine as one of the top 10 light-heavyweight fighters in the world. In 1937, Warrington lost a close decision to Bob Pastor, who had fought heavyweight champion, Joe Louis, twice.

In 1940, Warrington knocked out Lee Oma, who had lost to Ezzard Charles for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.
