Eddie Hearn will try to secure Leigh Wood's dream of fighting at Nottingham Forest's City Ground and says it would be "history in the making".
Featherweight Wood is eyeing a major summer showdown at the Reds' stadium after a stunning performance to knockout Michael Conlan earlier this month in the 12th round. Wood, the regular WBA champion, has numerous options to face as his next opponent after his last performance in a fight of the year contender that stunned the world of boxing.
A showdown against Josh Warrington for the IBF title is one possibility although the Leeds United fan does want to fight in America after beating Kiko Martinez. Wood would also have the chance to fight across the Atlantic particularly if the WBA orders super champion Leo Santa Cruz to face him. But Matchroom promoter Hearn says Wood's dream is to fight at the home of Forest, the club he supports.
