Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington: The Rivalry Ignites Again
The tension between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington reached a new level of intensity this Thursday, anticipating their expected rematch on February 21st in Nottingham. The confrontation between both boxers promises to be a must-see event for fans. Wood, former featherweight world champion, and Warrington, also a two-time former champion in the same division, are preparing for a second encounter that has been in the sights of fans since their first fight. The rivalry between both boxers has been latent since their first encounter. Wood achieved a spectacular knockout victory in the seventh round in October 2023, a fight that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. Warrington, who was dominating the fight on the scorecards, suffered an unexpected setback.I don’t like him now. Since the first fight, he hasn’t shown any respect. Did he fear Leigh before the first fight? Probably not. I thought the fight was going as expected until the seventh round. I have to make sure the same mistake doesn’t happen again. Until then, I was having an easy night.

The atmosphere heated up quickly. There was a tense confrontation with an exchange of words after the interview.He won rounds, but at what cost? It cost him the fight. If he wants to do that again, he can do it again. I’m not even thinking about after this fight, I’m thinking about winning this fight. If I lose this fight, it takes away credibility from the first fight. I don’t know if I’ll fight again after this fight, I haven’t even thought about it. But for me, I need to win this fight.

Promoter Eddie Hearn highlighted the importance of this fight.You need 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.
