Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington both made weight Friday ahead of their junior lightweight rematch.
On Saturday night, the former featherweight champions will settle their long-running feud at a sold-out Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, England, Wood’s hometown. Their 12-round, non-title fight will be streamed exclusively on DAZN, with coverage starting at 7 p.m. GMT (2 p.m. ET).
Wood weighed in at 129.8 pounds. Warrington officially weighed 129.7 pounds.
Wood (28-4, 17 KOs), a two-time WBA featherweight champion overcame a difficult start in October 2023 to score a stunning seventh-round stoppage of Warrington (32-4-1, 8 KOs). He told The Ring recently that he is determined to make things crisper and cleaner in their rematch and he gets the opportunity to do so in front of his home supporters.
Warrington, a two-time IBF featherweight champion, will bring a sizeable traveling army with him from Leeds. The 35-year-old has a burning sense of injustice about the way their first fight ended and has waited almost 2½ years for the chance to exact revenge.
“I’m fully focused. I’ve had a long old career, but this one’s right up there,” Warrington said at the ceremonial weigh-in. “The determination, the focus. I’ve rolled back the years for this one. Unfortunately, Leigh’s had a brilliant and long career, but ‘The Leeds Warrior’ is gonna be walking home with a victory. Revenge is sweet.”
A hyped-up Woods obviously disagreed.
“I’m gonna win and I’m gonna win quicker,” he said. “We’ll talk about tactics after. We’ll sit down and I’ll break it down for you. If he comes out quick and comes to me, it’s gonna end very, very quick, I promise you that.”
The weights for all fighters on the televised card are listed below.
