PARIS – After a decade at bantamweight, Nathaniel Wood gave himself a fresh start at featherweight earlier this year.
But in a bit of a rarity, he said it was a fight that never happened that gave him the push to move up a division. When Vince Morales pulled out of a March fight on the day of the card in London in March, Wood was left watching from the sideline instead of making his return for the first time in nearly a year and a half.
The result was a move to 145 pounds against Charles Rosa in July and a win after 21 months of inactivity.
