Wood vs. Warrington 2: Leigh Wood explains why rematch will be different

Broadcast live on DAZN, this second meeting between the two former world champions has been three years in the making. 

The first fight in Sheffield was a memorable one, a brutal affair in which Warrington was in control. 

However, as has often been the case with Wood, his knockout power can turn a fight on its head, and he did exactly that in round seven and stopped Warrington. 

Wood predicts early knockout in Warrington rematch

On Wednesday, the pair faced off for the first time to kick off the fight-week build-up, and tensions are already running high. 

Speaking to Matchroom following the face-off, Wood is confident, after a good training camp, that he can make it an early night for Warrington and make sure the rematch is over in quicktime. 

"I don't predict rounds," Wood responded when asked for a prediction. 

"But if I go out there and do what I do, and what I've been doing in sparring. I'm on fire at the minute.

"It's not going to last as long as last time, no way."

With both Wood and Warrington embarking on the final chapters of their respective careers, a win is vital, while defeat will spell the end of their time as active fighters in the sweet science.
