Wood–Warrington II Hits Nottingham on Saturday After Fiery Build-Up

The rivals seek closure at super-featherweight after a controversial 2023 stoppage left tempers frayed.

Overview

  • Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington meet on Saturday, 21 February, at Nottingham’s sold‑out Motorpoint Arena, streaming live worldwide on DAZN.
  • Their first fight in October 2023 ended in a seventh‑round stoppage for Wood while Warrington was ahead on the cards, a finish Warrington still disputes.
  • Both former champions arrive without a belt at stake after subsequent defeats to Anthony Cacace, turning this rematch into a pride‑driven grudge billed by Matchroom as “Last Man Standing.”
  • Wood, 37, has suggested this could be his final bout, while Warrington, 35, returns after briefly stepping away in 2024 and says he has more to give.
  • Fighters and teams predict an early finish in a hostile home atmosphere for Warrington, with an undercard featuring Sandy Ryan vs Karla Ramos Zamora, Ishmael Davis vs Bilal Fawaz, and Dave Allen vs Karim Berredjem.
