Josh Warrington is relishing the prospect of changing opinions when he locks horns with Leigh Wood in Sheffield.
The notion that Warrington is in decline is laughable to some, considering at 32 he is hardly at exhibition age. Defeats to Luis Alberto Lopez and Mauricio Lara were sandwiched by a stylish victory over Kiko Martinez that took place as recently as last year. However, Warrington is well aware there are doubters questioning how much he has left in the tank.
It's a horrible, awkward, big punching style.” Warrington cannot change the past but a win over Wood would certainly make a statement. The 32-year old does not envisage the fight seeing the final bell and has been encouraged by his own mindset during preparation. He said: “I’ve got a really strong feeling this one doesn’t see the final bell. It’s alright having power but being able to take a shot is another thing. It’s something that’s stuck with me all throughout this camp.
