Michael Conlan challenges Leigh Wood for the WBA featherweight title
(Picture: Action Images via Reuters)Leigh Wood puts his WBA featherweight world title on the line tonight against Michael Conlan in Nottingham.
It is the very first time that Wood has defended the belt he won via a dramatic 12th-round stoppage of China’s Xu Can at Matchroom Fight Camp in Brentwood last July.
That was a real upset and Wood has another stiff test ahead against Belfast’s Conlan, who is looking to become a world champion for the first time this weekend.
The popular London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist is an unbeaten 16-0 as a professional and earned his title shot with a dominant victory over T.J. Doheny on home soil last summer, picking up the interim belt.
