Cacace defeats Wood in Nottingham, retaining his title

Leigh Wood returns to the ring tonight in Nottingham to face Anthony Cacace, marking his first fight since October 2023. Wood is fighting for the first time since his knockout victory over Josh Warrington. Wood, a former WBA featherweight champion, has been out of action for 19 months due to injuries and a change of promoter. He believes his extended training will negate any ring rust against Cacace. The fight is taking place at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham. Wood has expressed a desire to fight at Nottingham Forest's City Ground in the future.
