What Is The Wood vs Warrington Weigh-In Limit?
Both Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington will step onto the scales on Friday, 6th October ahead of their highly anticipated world title fight the following evening at the Utilita Arena.
This fight is of course a featherweight contest, meaning both fighters must weigh-in at no more than 126-pounds. As long as both fighters weigh-in above the super-bantamweight limit (1122-pounds) and no higher than the featherweight limit, then the fight will go ahead.
Making the featherweight limit will be straight forward for Josh Warrington, who is three years younger than Leigh Wood and has a smaller frame than the Nottingham man. For Wood, making 126-pounds is more of a struggle, as he is a naturally bigger man and has campaigned at the weight for well over a decade.
We fully expect both fighters to be professional and make the weight on Friday afternoon. Then, all attentions turn to the actual fight the following evening at the Utilita Arena.
In short, both Josh Warrington and Leigh Wood must weigh no more that 160-pounds when they step on the scales at Friday’s weigh-ins. On fight night, the fighters are allowed to come in at whatever weight they want. They can rehydrate and weigh far more than 126-pounds come fight night.
