Eddie Hearn provides Leigh Wood City Ground fight update after Nottingham Forest talks

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has said that Nottingham Forest are keen to help Leigh Wood fight at the City Ground, with September earmarked as a possible date.

Wood was last in action last month when he overcame Mauricio Lara in a rematch in Manchester to regain the WBA featherweight title. After that clash, the Nottingham born boxer outlined his desire for his next fight to take place at the City Ground.

"I'll dig my heels in to get it," he told BBC Radio Nottingham in May ."I'll be 35 by the next time I box and I want that City Ground fight - it's my dream."
