Josh Warrington has received a promising response after expressing his hope that Leigh Wood will honour a rematch at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground.
Warrington suffered a knockout defeat in the seventh round against Wood on Saturday night in Sheffield. The Leeds Warrior has since expressed his frustration and belief that he should have been given the opportunity to gather himself in the corner between rounds before the fight was waved off by the referee. The pair did battle for the WBA title in front of a crowd of close to 10,000 at Utilita Arena Sheffield and Warrington had been piling on the pressure prior to the stoppage.
He caught me with a good shot, I felt good, I listened to the count six, seven, eight and then he waves off the fight. I’m disappointed, I feel let down. I don’t feel he’s done me justice. The stoppage is what it is on the record.” Warrington went on to credit Wood for taking his chance in round seven and expressed his hope that the Nottingham man would agree to a rematch in May.
