Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington renew their ferocious rivalry in Nottingham on Saturday night.
Wood won via a dramatic come-from-behind stoppage at the end of round seven in their initial October 2023 clash.
The WBA featherweight title was on the line then, in what proved to be Wood’s final defence of his crown.
Both men are former two-time world champions at featherweight, but this rematch takes place at 130 pounds and the ultimate focus is settling a simmering feud that has long since tipped over into hatred.
At 37 and 35 respectively, Wood and Warrington’s time at world level is realistically at an end, something underlined by their common defeats to Anthony Cacace since the first fight. This is purely about conquering one another.
On the undercard, Sandy Ryan will attempt to become a two-weight world champion when she faces Mexico’s Karla Ramos Zamora for the vacant WBC super lightweight title, while Ishmael Davis defends his British and Commonwealth super welterweight belts against Bilal Fawaz.
The Sporting News will update live results from the Wood vs. Warrington 2 card and provide a full report on the main event.
Leigh Wood enters this rematch riding momentum from their first encounter in October 2023, when he scored a memorable seventh-round knockout to take the WBA featherweight title from Warrington.
Wood (27-3, 18 KOs) has been active since then, blending sharp southpaw angles, heavy body work, and a high punch output to maintain his position among Britain’s top featherweights. Known for his power and willingness to engage at close range, Wood will look to replicate his past success and impose his pressure early to keep Warrington on the back foot.
Josh Warrington (33-4-1, 8 KOs) arrives with a point to prove, aiming for redemption after his first loss to Wood and subsequent mixed results in the years since. A naturally high-tempo fighter with an awkward style and strong work rate, Warrington relies on volume punching and relentless pressure to wear opponents down over the distance.
This rematch gives him an opportunity to adjust tactically and disrupt Wood’s rhythm, turning their storied domestic rivalry into another compelling chapter with implications for positioning among Europe’s elite featherweights.
