Leigh Wood dropped Mauricio Lara in a points win over former conqueror Mauricio Lara to reclaim his world title.
Lara returned to UK soil to take on Nottingham star Wood who was looking revenge after being stopped by the Mexican earlier this year. However it was to be a tough task for the Mexican who had been stripped of his world title on the scales after missing weight, with his rival only able to pick up the vacant belt on the night at the AO Arena in Manchester.
But it was the home favourite who got his revenge on the night earning unanimous decision win on the judges scorecards which read at 118-109, 118-109, 116-111 all in Wood's favour. The Nottingham star reclaimed his WBA featherweight title and is in a superb position for a unification clash against Luis Alberto
