Jazza Dickens tells Leigh Wood to 'put up or shut up' and outlines vision to inspire the next generation

New IBO world featherweight champion Jazza Dickens has sent a blunt message to Leigh Wood - telling him he is 'conning the public' and to 'put up or shut up'.

The 31-year-old had twice before failed in world title attempts but on an emotional night, in front of his home fans, he got the better of the dangerous South African.
