THE LOWDOWN
Leigh Wood (25-2-0) earned a surprising win over Can Xu to claim the WBA featherweight world title but he faces an even tougher task to defend his crown as he take on Michael Conlan. Wood boasts a strong record with just two losses from his 27 professional fights with 15 KOs to his name.
Michael Conlan (16-0-0) has enjoyed a strong start to his career having avoided defeat in all 16 of his fights. He became interim WBA featherweight world champion in his last bout against TJ Doheny, earning a unanimous decision victory and while his KO ratio stands at 50%, he has the skills to cause Wood plenty of problems.
THE PREDICTION
This is an intriguing matchup between Leigh Wood and Michael Conlan with both men capable of prevailing but preference is just for the Irishman. Conlan has looked the better fighter in his career and while he may not have the power to get rid of Wood, he should do enough to impress the judges.
