Nottingham Super Bantamweight Leigh Wood will face Brazilian opposition at Clifton Leisure centre on Nov 1st.

Wood has never boxed anyone with more wins than losses yet, despite him being a promising prospect, but the 9-0 record hes amasses thus far will be put to the test when he takes on Genilson de jesus Santos , whos record reads 23 wins 5 losses with 22 of his wins coming inside the distance.

The Undercard features Fergus Taylor (who came through my Unlicensed events and is currently 3-0), Terry Maughan, Chris Goodwin , Atif Shafiq and Gordon Watson, plus the debut of a local lad in Nathan Kirk.

We've seen a few of these South Americans with alot of ko's on their records. Most of them flatter to deceive.
Its an unknown quantity, most come over and fall in a few rounds. But now and again a good one comes over.

At what weight will this be? Wood has been fighting at Feather, the Brazilian mostly at Super Fly...

Huge Step BUT only on paper......... Imo This fight won't go more 4 rounds. He's tiny and has only won in Brazil against trouble opponents. His 5 loses have all been knockout this will not go far at all.. He's rated 225 in the world and that's at Super Fly weight

One name.... Luciano Torres


45-2 super middle... Would have struggled to beat a one armed blind monkey who doesn't like violence.
