Here is everything you need to know as Leigh Wood prepares to defend his WBA featherweight world title against former champion Josh Warrington in Sheffield this weekend
Leigh Wood is preparing to defend his WBA featherweight world title against Josh Warrington this weekend.
The Nottinghamshire fighter has already provided fans with plenty of memorable moments on his way to becoming a two-time world champion. Wood reclaimed his WBA crown in a rematch with Mauricio Lara, avenging his stoppage defeat with a commanding and emphatic points decision victory in May. The first defence of his second title reign comes in the form of an all-British clash with Josh Warrington, who became a star name in the division with his notable title wins over Lee Selby, Carl Frampton and Kid Galahad. Similar to Wood, the ‘Leeds Warrior’ has never backed down from a tough opponent and their clash has the potential to be a fight of the year contender.
There is a second world title fight on the card in Sheffield as WBA super-welterweight champion Terri Harper looks to claim the vacant WBO title against former pound-for-pound number one Cecilia Braekhus. Elsewhere, middleweights Kieron Conway and Linus Udofia are fighting in a British title eliminator, while featherweights Hopey Price and Connor Coghill are an intriguing matchup.
