Weigh-in report from Matchroom Fight Camp

Leigh Wood (24-2, 14 KOs) challenges Xu Can (18-2, 3 KOs) for Can's WBA featherweight title during the launch of Matchroom Fight Camp this weekend, live on DAZN from Brentwood, England. The weigh-in took place on Friday, with Wood tipping the scales at 125 pounds 5 ounces, while defending champion Can was slightly lighter at 125 pounds, 3 ounces. It will be Can’s first fight since back in November 2019, when he made the second successful defence of his WBA title with a unanimous decision win over Manny Robles. Wood is looking to build on his stoppage win over Reece Mould back in February, where he knocked out the previously unbeaten opponent to claim the British featherweight title.The Nottingham boxer also has stoppage wins over the likes of David Oliver Joyce and Ryan Doyle in his career, and now steps up in competition to take on Can.
