Leigh Wood retained his WBA world featherweight title against the odds with the most dramatic 12th-round comeback knockout of Michael Conlan in Nottingham.
Making the first defence of the belt he claimed against China’s Xu Can last summer in front of an electric hometown crowd at Motorpoint Arena, Wood produced another staggering late upset having been thoroughly second best for the majority of an enthralling bout and dropped at the end of the first round courtesy of a massive overhand left.
