Wood began calling out Warrington in 2019 even though the Nottingham fighter was in the boxing wilderness and struggling for motivation as pugilist avoided by those higher up the featherweight food chain. Perversely, it was a defeat that inspired a change, Wood's 2019 loss to Jazza Dickens sparked some home truths. Since beating Can Xu for the WBA (regular) title in July 2021, Wood has stopped Michael Conlan with a 12th-round highlight-reel knockout and in May this year avenged a defeat to Mauricio Lara with a superb display of front-foot pressure. It may not be at Nottingham Forest's City Ground as he's always dreamed, but this is the fight the 35-year-old has been dreaming of.

Younger by three years, Warrington has been fighting at world level since 2018 when he beat Lee Selby for the IBF featherweight world title. Having beaten Carl Frampton and Kid Galahad, Warrington vacated his title only to lose to Lara – a measuring stick for both fighters – but won back his strap from Kiko Martinez in March 2022. Overwhelmed by Luis Alberto Lopez last time out last December, the Leeds Warrior says he's been driven to avenge that last defeat and believes himself to be the superior fighter, but Wood's career arc is firmly in the ascendent and starts as favorite if he can create space for his shots, with Warrington wanting to force his way inside and spoil.
