British world champion challenges Floyd Mayweather to stadium fight

British world champion challenges Floyd Mayweather to stadium fightDAZN
Leigh Wood is currently preparing to face Josh Warrington later this year.

WBA world featherweight champion Leigh Wood appears to have issued a challenge to Floyd Mayweather for a fight at the City Ground. 

Wood made the offer on social media after the American called for the Nottingham fighter to face 17-year-old Mayweather Promotions prospect Curmel Moston. 

However, with a 12-year age gap between Wood and Moston, this particular fight is unlikely to happen, so instead Wood decided to turn his attention to the former multi-weight world champion.

"@FloydMayweather You're closer to my age than your prospect is to me. I'll give a few lbs away to dance with a great, you ever been to the city ground?" Wood wrote on X.

Wood returns to action on October 7 live on DAZN when he defends his WBA title against Josh Warrington in Sheffield.
