Mauricio Lara vs Leigh Wood 2 LIVE RESULTS: Englishman hoping to reclaim world title in HUGE rematch – stream, TV
MAURICIO Lara and Leigh Wood will take to the ring once again as the Englishman looks to reclaim his WBA featherweight title in a mouthwatering rematch TONIGHT.
Last February, the two went head-to-head in Nottingham and put on a show to remember.
However, their rematch this evening has been clouded in controversy, with Lara failing his midweek weight check.

- Live stream: DAZN
Lara dethroned Wood in their first bout after winning by way of TKO in the seventh round.
The former champion was ahead on the judge’s scorecards before being caught with a huge left hook by the Mexican.
Wood hit the canvas in his home town and tried to soldier on before his trainer Ben Davison threw in the towel.
But the second fight has been clouded in controversy, with Lara failing his midweek weight check.
The British Boxing Board of Control were concerned and warned Lara that he was forbidden from dehydrating himself down to less than 128.6lbs on Friday.
But, after Wood obeyed the rules and weighed in at 125.9lbs, Lara bowled in at 129.8lbs.
The BBBoC were fuming but the title decision fell to the sanctioning body who thankfully took action on Friday afternoon and stripped the champion.
