Leigh Wood vs. Josh Warrington 2 predictions: who wins, key matchup factors, and 2026 boxing fight preview

The super-featherweight rematch features Leigh Wood favored at 4/6 odds, with Josh Warrington seeking revenge after their dramatic 2023 bout and both having lost to a common opponent.

  • On Saturday at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington meet in a super-featherweight rematch just over two years after their first fight.
  • Warrington is aiming to avenge his 2023 defeat, with both fighters struggling after losses to Anthony Cacace, Irish boxer, as they try to rebuild momentum.
  • At Friday's weigh-in, Wood weighed 129.8 pounds and Warrington 129.7, with Wood warning, `Quicker, doing it quicker, that's the most important thing` and `If he comes out quick and comes for me, it's going to end very, very quick, I promise you`.
  • Bookmakers list Wood as the narrow favourite at 4/6, and the bout streams exclusively on DAZN with undercard coverage from 7pm GMT and ring walks at approximately 10pm GMT.
  • Their status in British boxing remains secure, but the rematch is the last roll of the dice as both seek to revive careers and momentum after limited 2023 activity.
