Josh Warrington and Leigh Wood will face each other once more at the Motorpoint Arena, over two years since the latter stopped the former in stunning fashion in Sheffield. The Leeds-born boxer suffered the third of his four professional losses to Wood in October 2023 but remains convinced he will overturn the outcome on this occasion.
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, Ryan Garcia will seek to capture a world title for the first time when he challenges welterweight champion Mario Barrios, who is competing for the first time since retaining his belt with a draw against Manny Pacquiao. Here is everything you need to know about this evening’s contests….

Josh Warrington: “Back in 2024, I retired for a few weeks. I never officially announced it but I had to ponder over my career before deciding to carry on. I felt like I still had plenty left to achieve in this sport. Despite having accomplished so much and created numerous wonderful memories over the years, in the gym I feel like I’m just improving. I have a more mature mindset. Physically, my stats continue to improve and strengthen so I’ve trained hard and received a good kick up the backside to keep me motivated throughout – and I feel fantastic.”

Leigh Wood: “I am confident. And that’s not me thinking it’s going to be a walk in the park – because I don’t believe it will be. In a way, I don’t want it to be because I’ll actually feel even better when I secure the victory, like I did in the previous fight. But I am confident. I know what I need to do, it’s a lot clearer. The support in Nottingham is phenomenal and I just want to express a huge thank you to everyone for filling that arena so quickly. I was telling Carl Froch that he inspired me as a child, attending that arena to watch him and looking around thinking that I want to do this one day.”

Quotes corner
Mario Barrios: “I’m the champion for a reason. I’m not a talker when it comes to all this, but every time I fight I leave it all in the ring. I want to make him uncomfortable and exploit his weaknesses every round.”
Ryan Garcia: “There’s not a lot I haven’t seen in the sport of boxing. You never really know what you’re going to get until you step into the ring. For me, I’m just preparing myself as best as I possibly can. So, we just have to wait and see. I could do a lot of talking and say I’ve prepared the best I can. You can just look at me and see the shape that I’m in and how I look and have your own opinion on it.”
