Kicking off three consecutive weekends of fights from Matchroom HQ, Brentwood, champion featherweight XU CAN looks to defend his WBA strap for the third time, facing off against British challenger LEIGH WOOD.

The Chinese featherweight comes into the bout on an impressive 15 fight win streak, recently edging out Manny Robles III in a classic brawl back in 2019. WOOD comes into the fight off a win against fellow countryman Reece Mould, having lost before that to an impressive Jazza Dickens in a failed bid to defend his WBO European featherweight title. The gritty Brit will be wanting to put a stop to the XU CAN train and re-establish himself as a top featherweight contender.

Won't be surprised if Lee KO's Xu.

I wouldn't bet on it personally but it is actually a very real possibility, that's what makes this fight an interesting one IMO. You ever thought of joining in the Pick Em, man?

I’m guessing he’s got some legit power?

Anyone catch the undercard on DAZN? I will freely admit she's young enough to be my dughter but Sandy Ryan is kinda hot, you wouldn't think it particularly from her Boxrec photo, but y'know all flushed and sweaty... umm... I'll stop now.

Even without Benn/Granados, I'm pretty excited for this card and this Maya Jama chick is pretty hot tbh

Ain't really betting although there is prizes at the end of the year. Just a prediction league for fun and bragging rights really.
