Wood (26-2) comes into this fight on three-fight win streak, recently defeating Michael Conlan via TKO in the very same arena where this main event will take place. His most coveted win to date, was an upset over Can Xu where he secured the featherweight title. These two were scheduled to meet in September 2022, but Wood withdrew due to a bicep injury. Now back and healthy, Wood has his sights on a showdown against fellow UK rival Josh Warrington. But, before that happens, he must face off with Lara.

Lara (25-2-1) is coming into this one after a successful 2022 that saw him defeat Emilio Sanchez and Jose Sanmartin in knockout fashion. He is no stranger to fighting a headliner in the UK as well, beating Josh Warrington back in 2021 by TKO. Lara is the favorite in this one and deservingly so, the Mexican born challenger can fight in tight windows, packing plenty of power in his punches. This fight is going to be a good one, both measuring in with near identical physical make ups of 5’7” in height and a reach of 67 inches.
