If the atmosphere Friday afternoon at The Cutlers’ Hall was an accurate indication, the environment for the Leigh Wood-Josh Warrington fight Saturday night will be incredible inside Utilita Arena Sheffield in Sheffield, England. Wood and Warrington both stepped on the British Boxing Board of Control’s scale under the featherweight limit of 126 pounds for their 12-round title fight.
With an undisputed clash off the table, Terri Harper has once again landed the next best opportunity. Matchroom Boxing has resurrected Harper’s previously postponed WBA junior middleweight title defense versus former undisputed welterweight champion Cecilia Braekhus. The bout will take place October 7 on the undercard of the recently announced Leigh Wood-Josh Warrington WBA featherweight title fight at Utliita Arena in Sheffield, England.
Cecilia Braekhus is no longer in position to become a two-division champion. The legendary former undisputed welterweight queen woke up Saturday morning with flu-like symptoms, which has forced her to withdraw from a challenge of Terri Harper’s WBA junior middleweight title. The bout was scheduled as one of two title fights on Saturday’s DAZN show from 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

Katie Taylor soaked in the ambiance as she easily made weight for her long overdue homecoming affair. The legendary two-division and reigning undisputed lightweight champion saluted the crowd after her announced weight of 139.7 pounds—a career heaviest—during Friday’s weigh-in at The Round Room at the Mansion House in Dublin. Undisputed junior welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron was also 139.7 pounds as she puts all of her divisional hardware at stake in their DAZN main event Saturday evening at a sold-out 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
