    Wood v Warrington 2

    Here we go...

    Josh Warrington stood at the top of the ramp to the familiar tune of 'marching on together' and then, as we've seen so many times, it burst into the Kaiser Chiefs' 'I predict a riot'.

    Warrington sprints to the ring, stands on the apron and looks out at a crowd.

    Could this be the final time we are treated to a Warrington ringwalk?

  2. Warrington’s retirement u-turnpublished at 21:55 GMT 21 February

    When Josh Warrington lost to Anthony Cacace in September 2024, he placed his gloves in the centre of the ring. He then walked around and fist-bumped reporters at ringside. It was his way of saying he was done.

    But boxing has a funny way of pulling fighters back in. Warrington reversed that decision, insisting he still had more to give. He returned in April 2025 with a comfortable points win over India’s Asad Asif Khan.

    We’ve seen it so many times before - fighters struggle to let go of the identity and the big nights like this.

    The question is, was this a calculated comeback or an emotional one? We’ll go some way in finding out the answer tonight.

    Leigh Wood had his work cut out when beating Josh Warrington in their first meeting. Two judges gave the Nottingham fighter just one of the opening six rounds, with the third judge scoring two rounds in his favour, before he stopped the Leeds fighter in the seventh.

    But Wood is no stranger to a comeback win.

    In March 2022 Wood successfully defended his WBA 'regular' featherweight title against Michael Conlan in the most dramatic of circumstances.

    Conlan dropped Wood in round one with a beautiful looping left hand. The pair would then continue to trade with each other before Wood - who was down on all three judges' scorecards in round 12 - knocked out Conlan and sent him crashing outside the ring with just one minute and 35 seconds left of the fight.

    It was pretty cordial at Thursday's news conference between rivals Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington but there was a bit more tension at the weigh-in.

    Wood, wearing a Nottingham Forest scarf, and Warrington, who had a Leeds scarf on, also got a taste of how the atmosphere will be tonight as fans were allowed to attend.

    Warrington did most of the talking at the face-off as Wood smiled back at his opponent.

    Both came in one pound under the super-featherweight limit at 9st 3lb (58.5kg).

    My apologies, Kiddy.

    I should have thrown Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall into the mix. Any others you want to suggest?

  9. 'Mourned my career'published at 21:49 GMT 21 February

    After losing against IBF super-featherweight champion Anthony Cacace in September 2024, Josh Warrington placed his gloves down in the middle of the ring and we thought he was ready to sail off into retirement.

    Warrington had lost three successive fights and, having been a two-time world champion, had nothing left to prove.

    Or so it seemed...

    "I mourned my career a little bit then decided to continue because I felt I had more than enough to do some things in this sport," Warrington said.

    The Leeds Warrior returned to the ring 216 days after losing to Cacace and picked up the 32nd win of his 37-fight career when beating Asad Asif Khan.

    Original Eubank v Benn of course. Sons not even close.

  11. Wood & Warrington trade personal insultspublished at 21:47 GMT 21 February

    This really is personal.

    Josh Warrington labelled Leigh Wood a "slimy character" during the filming of a face-off show. Wood didn’t hold back either, calling Warrington "horrible".

    Warrington suggested his rival was operating at the level of a journeyman and Wood branded Warrington "area level".

    Fawaz beats Davis by majority decision

    It's another chapter in the remarkable story of Bilal Fawaz.

    Kal Sajad spoke with Fawaz this week to hear about his journey to this stage.

    Bilal was trafficked to England from Nigeria as a 14-year-old, forced into conditions that amounted to modern day slavery and ended up in the care system.

    Now a British champion, Fawaz should be seeking fights abroad but he is unable to do that after being denied a British passport by the Home Office, despite being in the country for 24 years.

  15. Fawaz wins by majority decisionpublished at 21:38 GMT 21 February

    Bilal Fawaz is the new British and Commonwealth light-middleweight champion.

    Two judges scored it in his favour - 115-113 and 115-114 - with the other seeing it as a 114-114 draw.

    Davis v Fawaz

    I think Fawaz might have done enough here.

    Davis began strongly but seemed to start to fade before they even reached the halfway point.

  17. Round twelvepublished at 21:34 GMT 21 February

    Davis v Fawaz

    Fawaz still has plenty in the tank and he's toying with Davis.

    Davis is backed into the corner and after being on the receiving end of a four-punch combination grabs Fawaz and holds to try and get a breather.

    Davis falls to the floor again but it's another slip as the bell rings.

  18. Round elevenpublished at 21:30 GMT 21 February

    Davis v Fawaz

    Davis is down but it's a slip rather than a knockdown. He's looking very, very, very fatigued.

    He throws a big right but Fawaz gets out of the way. Loading up on those shots is maybe not the right gameplan right now.

    Not only has Fawaz been watching the Winter Olympics but it appears he might be a fan of mixed martial arts as he attempts a superman punch at the end of the round.

    Davis v Fawaz

    Fawaz has clearly been watching the Winter Olympics - he's slaloming forward and stalking Davis.

    His jab looks really sharp.
