Leigh Wood is relishing his return to the ring on May 10 when he faces Anthony Cacace in a super featherweight contest at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena.
The contest, which will be broadcast live on DAZN, will be Wood's first fight since beating Josh Warrington in October 2023, and in that time, a lot has changed at super featherweight.
Cacace has been a part of that change. The Irishman has quickly become a dangerous operator at 130 lbs with two impressive wins last year.

What has been said?
Wood:
"It’s the same Anthony we’ve seen in recent times, he’s looking good"
“There’s so much more to boxing than being able to whack. Which I can whack – it’s in my back pocket. But there’s so much more to boxing – timing, and how to go about it. That’s down to my team. That’s my ace of spades – my team, and how we approach it. The direction and the way I win this fight is down to them, and that’s my superpower.”
He'll have to answer that question for you. I can't answer that for him but one thing’s for sure, I’m extremely confident of getting the job done on May 10th,” Wood said.
“Props to him. That’s what's going to make my victory even better, knowing how on form he is and how good he is and how established he is at that weight,” Wood said.
“I think I’ve had seven winning title fights-seven winning 12-round title fights-and every single one has touched the canvas. Every single one, so I don't think that's going to be any different on May 10th,” he said.
Cacace:
“It’s another massive fight.”
“It’s another two-time world champion who’s proven himself on the world stage. Leigh’s a great fighter.
He’s got power in both hands. This has got the recipe for the fight of the year. I fully respect Leigh his power. But I’m ready, and coming."
