Nottingham boxer and Forest fan Leigh Wood will ‘dig his heels in’ to fight his next bout at the City Ground after revealing talks with promoter Eddie Hearn.
The 34-year-old gained revenge on opponent Mauricio Lara on Saturday night. The first meeting between the two saw Wood fall to a seventh round stoppage back in February.
But the rematch at Manchester’s AO Arena saw Wood come out victorious by a unanimous points decision. The judges scored it 118-109, 116-111 and 118-109 in Woods’ favour to see him regain the WBA featherweight title.
