Would you like to see Wood vs Warrington 2? 🤔👇

[@joshua2809]

I would honestly the best fight for them both.

[@TB41n0]

Best fight for both men and I’m no advisor but would estimate it’s the biggest purse . Get it signed at any stadium in England, Portugal or Ireland

[@josephleonardi1421]

What a warrior lee wood is Nottingham are proud of you lee all the best for the future you have done yourself proud

[@rickisunak]

Whole country is mate, proper fighter.

[@The-walloper]

Respect to leigh as he comes across very down to earth and working class. A real good guy. Best wishes to him going forward.

[@crazyfootballboys5076]

Love Leigh wood heart determination and power

[@adamlees8410]

Leigh is a good guy and has achieved incredible things in his career. I wish him all the best for his next fights and look forward to seeing the last chapters of his journey in the ring.

[@PJMW1977]

Eddie screams about loyalty - if you’re with him you’re with him. Seems like lip service to me, and that he’s not offering Lee quite as much loyalty in return. Shithousery imo.

[@stranger16moped]

He's not signed to eddie

[@TB41n0]

Leigh is a free agent

[@derekcrawford1888]

Seriously?? Eddie has made him a millionaire and has done everything promised. It's not Eddie or Matchrooms fault that Nottingham Forrest refused to do the fight there. Also, he is apparently out of contract with Matchroom because of the fight not happening at Forrests stadium.

[@kyletomey43]

Bit harsh on Matchroom. They tried everything to make the fight at Forests ground but wouldn't let them. They can only pay the fighters what's in the fight and obviously the biggest payday would be the Warrington fight

[@soldier-boy-fitness]

Love Leigh, but biting the hand that feeds you to the world, is not the best way to go about things. Matchroom have been good to him - be careful what you wish for. I’d prefer tor Leigh to forget about all the Josh Warrington nonsense, move on and box someone else. Navarrete could be good…

[@rickisunak]

He wouldn't but nobody would have blamed him for rendering the chav unconscious again.

[@bobbac9103]

Careful what you wish for

[@sly_tendencies87]

Funny to see Lee walk it back 😂😂😂

[@meanontoist]

Why does warrington deserve all these chances, hes a dirty fighter and sloppy, been beaten plenty and still gets shots hendidnt earn

Boycott Warrington mate, them headbutts can be career shorteners.

[@user-zy5hy7dl6j]

Josh battered you in every round till you landed a lucky punch mate so way talk shit you was getting plumed all over that's why you won't remach I'm let's get it right

[@antonyvaughan7808]

Another boxer showing the effects of to many head shots!

[@lukehigh6170]

Few points to make. Leigh might not not know he said but Ive seen the clip of him saying "he is doing my head in, at this point Im just going to drive to Leeds and chin him for free", also he wasnt laughing about Jordan. Zelfa is a good friend in the same way Leigh and Jordan are. He wasnt smiling or laughing at Jordans expense at any point. Taking into account ringside video of Gill after Josh/Leigh fight was Jordan saying fuck Josh he got smashed in a disrespectful way but then come onto changing rooms saying he though Josh was so good and was a warrior and was about to stop Leigh. Sooo its all he said she said, make the F*ck*ng fight !!

[@unknownx2k7]

Leigh needs to get his nose fixed after boxing he sounds blcoked

[@d.b.cooper1]

Leigh wasted all that time begging for a stadium fight only for his own club to turn him down for no real valid reason. He needs get a move on with the rematch, just do it in a arena in Sheffield. Hearn seems be only investing in the USA, UK matchroom shows have been lacklustre for a while now but Hearn gets away with it with his promotion/gift of the gab & being saved by Saudi. Fact he'd rather put UK fighters on at 4am in yank hotel in front of 500 people tells you a lot about how small the UK dazn subscriber base is for boxing, hence why they launched MISFITS.

[@K33f11]

'His own club for no real valid reason', that's either a whole lot of oddness from the oracle of nothing or a whole lot of nothing from the oracle of oddness.

[@d.b.cooper1]

@@K33f11 It’s true, they got denies some dates for valid reasons around fixtures. But they were close to a date at the end of the season around another take that concert for which they were confident & kept begging the club only for them to say no without a reason given like before. Simply not rated by his own team.
