Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington time: When does fight start in UK and US tonight?
Fans will expect fireworks when Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington meet in a featherweight title fight this weekend. The British pair will clash in a main-event contest in Sheffield, where Wood puts his WBA belt on the line. The fight marks the first defence of the Nottingham boxer’s second title reign, after he lost then regained the title in back-to-back duels with Mauricio Lara this spring. Wood, 35, was stopped by the Mexican in February but outpointed Lara three months later. Warrington also has recent history with Lara, having suffered a TKO loss to him in 2021 before the pair drew their rematch later that year, when a clash of heads derailed the bout. Warrington, 32, bounced back from those results by stopping old rival Kiko Martinez last March, but he was beaten by Luis Alberto Lopez in December. Those fights marked the start and end of the Leeds boxer’s second reign as IBF featherweight champion. Here’s all you need to know about Saturday’s main event.
