Leigh Wood vs. Josh Warrington: Former world champion predicts ‘absolute war’

Leigh Wood vs. Josh Warrington: Former world champion predicts ‘absolute war’Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing
There's a huge all-British fight this weekend.

Ricky Hatton believes that there will be some serious action this weekend as Leigh Wood takes on Josh Warrington.

Wood is putting his WBA featherweight title on the line against experienced opponent Warrington this Saturday, live on DAZN.

With fanbases from Nottingham and Leeds set to be in attendance, there is a strong chance of some local rivalries showing throughout the evening.

Hatton, a former world champion, knows the pair of them and he thinks that it will be a bloody display, however he will not be in the crowd.

He told Mighty Tips: “I’m gutted I can’t be there because I’m very good friends with Josh Warrington and pretty close with Leigh Wood, I’ve got a lot of time for Leigh.

“I can’t see it being anything other than an absolute war. 

“Leeds vs Nottingham, I hope they behave themselves the fans because they are representing their fighters so behave yourselves and enjoy the scrap.”
