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.
