Michael Conlan will be an interested spectator when Leigh Wood defends his world featherweight title against Josh Warrington on Saturday night, exclusively live on DAZN.
A contender in his division, Conlan is eager to rebuild after losing to Luis Alberto Lopez earlier year, and a future showdown with this weekend’s winner appeals to the Irish star.
Conlan and Wood took part in one of the best fights of 2022 when the Nottingham man came from behind to score a sensational last-round stoppage.
Conlan appeared to be rebuilding well but an attempt to win a world title back in May was shot down by Lopez.
Conlan’s ambition hasn't been deterred, and he’ll be in Sheffield to see Saturday’s drama unfold.
“I would target either of them. That would be the aim, the winner or the loser,” said Conlan when speaking to Irish-boxing.com
“I would love to fight Leigh again, how that fight ended, the whole fight itself, ‘Fight of the Year’ and all that. It was unbelievable and I’d love a crack at it again. Both fights sell and sell well.”
