The confrontation between both boxers promises to be a must-see event for fans.\n\nWood, 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.\n\nThe rivalry between both boxers has been latent since their first encounter.\n\nWood 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.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I don&#8217;t like him now. Since the first fight, he hasn&#8217;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.

It cost him the fight. If he wants to do that again, he can do it again. I&#8217;m not even thinking about after this fight, I&#8217;m thinking about winning this fight. If I lose this fight, it takes away credibility from the first fight. I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll fight again after this fight, I haven&#8217;t even thought about it.
