THE career of Leigh Wood has delivered many twists and turns, with each euphoric high and devastating low only adding to his deeply compelling tale. Without experiencing a series of setbacks, the Nottingham man may have never become the fighter he is today: a widely revered operator who, in short, rarely fails to produce an awe-inspiring spectacle.

CONOR Benn is seemingly confident that his rematch with Chris Eubank Jr, which was agreed prior to their first encounter, will indeed go ahead. The pair squared off in an all-action war towards the end of last month, with Eubank, 35-3 (25 KOs), securing three 116-112 scorecards to emerge victorious.

ADAM Azim remains less than impressed with Dalton Smith’s last two performances, urging his domestic rival to grab the bull by the horns and accelerate his progression. The unbeaten super-lightweight operators have been on a collision course for well over a year, it seems, and yet their mouth-watering matchup appears no closer to materialising.

WORLD-LEVEL super-featherweight contenders Anthony Cacace and Leigh Wood are gearing up for what promises to be nothing short of an all-action barnburner. The pair will square off this Saturday, with Wood, 28-3 (17 KOs), earning a home advantage at the Nottingham Arena, England, despite remaining out of the ring for 19 months. While their records suggest otherwise, both former world champions possess enough destructive power to, at any given moment, produce a stunning finish.

WBO world lightweight champion Terri Harper is always adapting her training, and yet her sport appears no closer to displaying the same appetite for change.

Lewis Edmondson Joins ‘Team Ezra Taylor’ Ahead Of Potential Dustup

1 week ago | boxingnewsonline.net | Oscar Pick

BRITISH and Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion Lewis Edmondson has pledged allegiance to domestic rival Ezra Taylor ahead of his next fight. The pair have been on a collision course for several months, with their back-and-forths over social media – and, of course, in real life – only building hype around their possible dustup. But despite a mutual disdain for one another, Edmondson, 11-0 (3 KOs), will be firmly in Taylor’s corner when he takes on unbeaten Brummie Troy Jones this Saturday.
