Leigh Wood calls out Josh Warrington over City Ground comments

Nottingham boxer Leigh Wood has called out Josh Warrington for his comments about filling the City Ground with his fans.

Wood is hoping to stage his next fight at the home of his beloved Nottingham Forest on Trentside with anticipation levels through the roof after his devastating twelfth-round knockout of Michael Conlan at the Motorpoint Arena earlier this month. Conlan had to go to the hospital after Wood ended a potential fight of the year bout.

Now Wood, who retained his WBA world featherweight title, could face Warrington next with the Leeds United supporter making clear his feelings on a fight in Nottingham. Speaking to The Sportsman's social media pages, he delivered his verdict on Wood's previous fight and the prospect of a bout at the City Ground.
