Wood vs Warrington LIVE: Latest updates and results tonight
Tommy Fury clarifies the reason behind his lack of fondness for KSI leading up to their crucial boxing bout.
Tonight, in Sheffield, Leigh Wood will be defending his WBA featherweight title against Josh Warrington. The two British fighters will face each other in an exciting match.
At 35 years old, Wood is about to defend his title for the first time since winning it back from Mauricio Lara. He had lost the WBA belt in two consecutive fights against Lara earlier this year. Their first encounter took place in February in Wood's hometown of Nottingham, where Lara emerged victorious. However, in May, Wood managed to redeem himself by defeating Lara in a points-based contest.
In his upcoming bout, Lara will be risking his gold against Warrington, a skilled fighter who has previously held the championship title twice and has a past with Lara. Warrington was defeated by Lara in their initial encounter in 2021, but they later had a draw when they accidentally collided heads. In the year 2022, Warrington defeated his long-standing opponent Kiko Martinez to attain the IBF featherweight title for the second time in his profession. However, he lost this achievement in his subsequent match, which he lost by points to Luis Alberto Lopez.
The fighter known as the "Leeds Warrior" is determined to resume his victorious streak in this upcoming match, where he will be pitted against "Leighthal" in an exciting battle.
Stay tuned for real-time updates on the Wood vs Warrington match and the preliminary fights, presented below.
