Leigh Wood is a British professional boxer from Nottingham, England, known for his resilience and exciting fighting style. He has made a significant mark in the featherweight and super-featherweight divisions, earning a reputation for dramatic comebacks and knockout victories. Wood turned professional in 2011 and has since built an impressive career, capturing world titles and thrilling fans with his performances.
One of his most notable achievements came in 2022 when he won the WBA featherweight title by knocking out Michael Conlan in the 12th round, a fight that earned *Ring Magazine*’s Fight of the Year honors.Trailing on the scorecards, Wood’s late stoppage showcased his ability to turn the tide under pressure. He defended the title in 2023 against Mauricio Lara, losing it in February via a seventh-round TKO, only to reclaim it in a rematch three months later with a unanimous decision victory. Later that year, in October, he staged another comeback, stopping Josh Warrington in the seventh round to retain the WBA featherweight belt despite being behind on the cards.
Wood vacated the WBA featherweight title in 2023 to move up to super-featherweight, seeking bigger challenges. His next fight, scheduled for May 10, 2025, pits him against Belfast’s Anthony Cacace at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena. This matchup promises fireworks, as both are former world champions known for their toughness and power. Wood has expressed excitement for the bout, which could headline a major event, potentially even at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground, a venue he’s long dreamed of fighting at as a lifelong fan of the football club.
With a record that includes 17 knockouts and a knack for delivering in clutch moments, Wood remains a prominent figure in British boxing, blending skill, heart, and a flair for the dramatic.
