Should Josh Warrington be able to claim back his IBF Featherweight title this weekend then a fight against Leigh Wood could take place at the City Ground in Nottingham. Warrington faces Kiko Martinez this weekend after vacating the IBF belt 14 months ago and will bid to regain his crown at the First Direct Arena in Leeds this weekend.
Should the 31-year-old prove successful in his bid to retake the title, a bout with Nottingham's Wood could be on the cards and Warrington has opened the door to a fight at the historic City Ground. Warrington opened the door to the fight, saying: "Listen, I’d love to go and boot the doors down at the City Ground and take the balmy Leeds lot with us and beat [Wood] in his backyard. But let’s concentrate on Saturday night and we’ll go from there."
Wood dramatically knocked down Michael Conlan earlier this month - losing only once since 2014 - and has slammed Warrington's confidence ahead of any potential bout.
