Current WBA Featherweight World Regular Boxing King Leo Wood (Leigh Wood) has decided whether the current WBA Featherweight World Super Boxing King Leo Santa Cruz is willing to compete with him, he will return to the boxing arena in January next year.
Recently, Eddie Hearn, the event promoter of Leigh Wood and the head of the competitive room boxing promotion company, said in an interview with reporters that Leigh Wood plans to return on 28 November 2023, and the competition location is likely to be Leigh Wood's hometown Nottingham .
According to official WBA requirements, representatives of Leo Wood and Leo St. Cruise need to complete negotiations during the WBA's Centennial Conference held in Orlando, Florida on December 12. In fact, the two sides had contact before, but there were great differences in profit distribution. Eddie Hearn hopes to share the accounts at a ratio of 75% and 25%. Considering the fame and status of Leo San Cruise, he can take away the big head (total profit 75% ). In the opinion of Eddie Hearn, this is already a very sincere offer, but the Leo San Cruise team asked to get a larger share.
In an interview with reporters, Eddie Hearn told reporters helplessly: "Due to the huge differences in profit distribution, negotiations have become very difficult. In fact, from my personal point of view, I think Leo St. Cruise no longer wants to play featherweight competition, but he still occupies the WBA featherweight world super boxing champion gold belt . So unless Leo St. Cruise takes the initiative to give up this title, no Zeli Wood will always be considered a regular boxing champion. We will continue to negotiate with the top boxing champion promotion company (PBC), hoping to arrange for Leo Wood to play on 1/28. At that time, Leo St. Cruise can participate in the game, which is the best situation. If Leo St. Cruise does not participate in the game, we will find others to compete with Leo Wood. "
The current good news is that the WBA official has ordered that both sides will not be allowed to refuse the game for any reason. WBA Chairman Gilberto Mendoza even said in an interview that if any party makes excuses to not participate in this game, it will be directly deprived of the title of World Boxing Championship.
So, the pressure is obviously not here with Leigh Wood and Eddie Hearn. However, in order to be prepared, Eddie Hearn has begun contacting the game's substitute opponent for Leigh Wood. The opponent that best attracts to Leigh Wood and Eddie Hearn is the current IBF featherweight world champion Josh Warrington, but Josh Warrington will be challenged by challenger Louis Alberto Lopez in his hometown of Leeds this weekend. After fighting this world boxing champion defending game, it is still a question whether Josh Warrington can continue to participate in the game in January next year. Anyway, Eddie Hearn will make a quote after Josh Warrington’s match against Louis Alberto Lopez this week to determine the opponent of Lee Wood’s next game.
Now 34 years old Li Wood was a featherweight unknown man a few years ago, but he performed well in defeating the world boxing champion Xu Can , which attracted the attention of the world boxing world. This year, 3 On March 12, Leigh Wood turned defeat into victory in the defending battle of the World Boxer Championship at Motorpoint Arena, defeating the famous boxer Michael Conlan , who had been unbeaten and won a thrilling victory. This match is considered by many to be the best match of the year this year.
However, due to an biceps injury, Leo Wood had to rest, thus giving up the match with another dark horse fighter of featherweight, Mauricio Lala, and the match with Leo San Cruise was also repeatedly postponed. Leigh Wood is now healed, so he wants to seize the time to achieve his previous goals (Leigh Wood once said he wants to fight the entire featherweight level in a unified manner).
Eddie Hearn told reporters: "Lee Wood doesn't want to waste time. He really wants to fight Josh Warrington to the world boxing champion united battle. We will go to the scene to watch Josh Warrington and Louis Alberto Lopez match, and then see if Josh Warrington can fight Lee Wood in January. If not, then arrange this world boxing champion united battle in the summer of 2023."
