[robelneo]

This all-British fight promises to be an action pact battle for the WBA World Featherweight Championship, the winner of the match could become two-division champion by facing Cordina

The winner of Leigh Wood v Josh Warrington could be given the chance to become a two-weight world champion by facing super-featherweight Joe Cordina next, says promoter Eddie Hearn.

"Once you see the build-up and the city support behind them, everyone - especially the fighters - know what's on the line and they'll fight with pride."

Between the two Wood is the most active one having beaten Mauricio Lara for the title last May, while Warrington last fought in December 2022 against Luis Alberto Lopez by a majority decision.

Wood is listed as more than a 2-1 favorite in boxing odds to win this fight.

These two are popular in British and they have supporters, they may not be the top Featherweight fighters in the World, but they deserve to be on top of the featherweight, I understand the winner will fight Cordina who is an upcoming sensational fighter in Britain, Wood is likely to win the match based on their last fights,
Warrington's sorry loss against Luis Alberto Lopez is ugly to watch he was exposed as someone who has a weak chin.
I expect a slugfest in this fight because the fight will be in front of their fans, it will be for pride and who is the better British featherweight.

It was a very thrilling and very controversial match Wood scored a knockdown exactly after the bell sounded to end the 7th round

Just as expected both fighters come out very aggressive at the start of the bell with Warrington starting the assault until Leigh Wood catches him with a right hook that stuns him Wood follows it up with a barrage of punches he is able to get up but he had a very shaky leg and the referee stops the fight

At the time of the stoppage, Warrington was ahead by the scores: 58-56 59-55 59-55 It was interesting that Alexander didn’t give Warrington the chance to make it out of the round, as he likely would have done so. Who knows whether Warrington would have recovered in between rounds. If so, he would have cruised to victory because Wood was bleeding from his right, and getting dominated by Warrington.
