Wood vs. Warrington II: Clash of Titans in Nottingham, Explosive Rematch

The rivalry between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington intensifies ahead of their highly anticipated rematch on February 21st in Nottingham. Wood, former featherweight world champion, and Warrington, also a former champion in the same division, are preparing for a second match that has generated great expectation. The tension between both boxers has been increasing since their first encounter. In October 2023, Wood achieved a knockout victory in the seventh round over Warrington, after the latter dominated the fight on the scorecards.

I don’t like him now. From the first fight he never showed any respect. Did he fear Leigh before the first fight? Probably not.

Warrington

Warrington expressed his frustration at the defeat, stating that the fight was going as planned until the fateful seventh round. In response, Wood highlighted the importance of his victory and the need to maintain his credibility.

He won rounds, but at what cost? It cost him the fight. If he wants to do that again, he can do it again.

Wood

The tense atmosphere between both boxers became evident during their encounter, with a face-off full of words.

You have to be perfect for 36 minutes, I need to be perfect for one or two seconds. I’m going to hit you so fucking hard, I can’t wait.

Wood

Promoter Eddie Hearn emphasized the importance of this rematch, highlighting the high stakes for both boxers.

This fight should have happened a year ago. Warrington was outboxing Leigh and Leigh changed it, stopped it. Careers on the line, bad blood, Nottingham against Leeds, but above all, a great fight.
