Leigh Wood vs. Josh Warrington Rematch Set for Feb. 21 in Nottingham on DAZN

Wood signals this grudge fight may end his career after their disputed 2023 stoppage.

Overview

  • The fight headlines at Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham on Saturday, with DAZN’s broadcast starting 7 p.m. GMT/2 p.m. ET and main-event ring walks expected around 10 p.m. GMT/5 p.m. ET.
  • Wood, 37, told ESPN the bout "could be my last one" and says Warrington’s style suits him as he looks to move past a 2025 stoppage loss to Anthony Cacace.
  • The rivalry was inflamed by their first meeting in 2023, when Wood stopped Warrington in Round 7 despite Warrington leading on all three cards, a finish Warrington still contests.
  • The BoxRec-listed undercard includes Sandy Ryan vs. Karla Ramos Zamora for the vacant WBC super-lightweight title and former UFC fighter Molly McCann in her third pro boxing bout.
  • Coverage frames the matchup as a career crossroads, with a Wood win sustaining relevance at 130 pounds and a Warrington loss risking a slide toward gatekeeper status or retirement.
