Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington go head to head in Sheffield tonight.
It’s Nottingham vs Leeds inside the boxing ring as Wood puts his WBA world featherweight title on the line.
Wood took back the belt by gaining revenge on the stripped Mauricio Lara back in May, having seen his first reign as a world champion emphatically ended by the Mexican three months earlier.
Now he defends it against British rival Warrington, who is looking to embark upon a third championship stint on Saturday evening.
The ‘Leeds Warrior’ claimed back the IBF belt he vacated in 2021 against veteranKiko Martinez last year, but held it for only nine months before being dethroned via an extremely close points defeat by Luis Alberto Lopez.
