Josh Warrington vs Leigh Wood 2: Start time, undercard and how to watch fight tonight

This evening, Josh Warrington bids for revenge against British rival Leigh Wood, more than two years after their intense first clash.

In October 2023, Warrington was leading on all three scorecards when Wood’s trademark power flipped the fight on its head. Wood, now 37, dropped Warrington, leaving the “Leeds Warrior” scrambling in Sheffield.

And although Warrington beat the referee’s count, the fight was waved off, with Wood retaining his WBA featherweight title and Warrington left incensed at the official’s call.

Warrington, 35, has the chance to exact revenge this weekend, when he enters the ring in Wood’s hometown of Nottingham. There, the pair will meet at super-featherweight; no title is on the line, only bragging rights.

Here’s all you need to know.
