Leigh Wood vs Mauricio Lara time: When do ring walks start tonight?

Leigh Wood defends his WBA featherweight title this weekend, as he welcomes Mauricio Lara to Nottingham for a main-event clash.

Wood (26-2, 16 KOs) last competed 11 months ago, retaining his title with a final-round knockout of Michael Conlan at the Motorpoint Arena.

Now he returns to the scene of that KO-of-the-year contender, in his hometown, to take on Mexico’s Lara (25-2-1, 18 KOs).

Lara, 24, is seeking his first world title and a third straight stoppage win, while 34-year-old Wood is already riding a three-fight streak of TKO victories.
