Wood is hot right now, having won 15 out of his last 16 fights. He is extremely confident right now and is on record saying he wants to get the fight over with quicker. However, will his confidence backfire?

Wood will look to win his WBA featherweight weight title back when he steps into the ring with Lara. He held the title since 2021 and had two successful defenses.
