Former WBA featherweight champion Leigh Wood has revealed his upcoming rematch with Josh Warrington could be his final professional bout. The Nottingham fighter, who stopped Warrington in their first encounter, acknowledges uncertainty about his future beyond Saturday's clash at the Motorpoint Arena.

Wood, who has enjoyed a career spanning a world title win, a dramatic knockout of Michael Conlan, and avenging his loss to Mauricio Lara, admits several factors will determine whether he continues boxing. "This could be my last one," Wood told Sky Sports, emphasizing that the atmosphere and significance of this fight might be unmatched. The Motorpoint Arena is expected to be electric for this grudge match between two well-supported British fighters.

Wood dismissed Warrington's claims that he was on course to win their first fight, calling his rival "very delusional" and suggesting he hasn't properly reviewed the bout. "I know exactly what I need to do and I'm confident of going out there and executing it," Wood stated, adding that bragging rights and pressure will be significant factors. The former champion emphasized that fighting in front of his hometown supporters provides an "unbelievable feeling" that gives him an extra gear.
