Leigh Wood vs Michael Conlan time: When are the ring walks for this weekend’s fight?
Leigh Wood will step out in front of a home crowd on Saturday night as he defends his WBA featherweight title against Ireland’s Michael Conlan in Nottingham.
The main event marks Wood’s first defence of the belt he won from Can Xu last July, while the unbeaten Conlan (16-0, 8 KOs) picked up the interim title by outpointing TJ Doheny in August.
Wood (25-2, 15 KOs) enters this bout on a two-fight win streak, having last tasted defeat in 2020, when he lost a majority decision to James Dickens. Both of his recent wins were secured via TKO, though, so the 33-year-old will come into this weekend’s clash high on confidence.
Conlan, 30 will represent a tough test for Wood, however, as the Olympic bronze medalist looks to win the biggest title of his pro career.
