UK boxing news round up.

Leigh Wood’s return is being moved to Feb 4th so it will no longer clash with Yarde-Beterbiev. Huge credit to Wood if he chooses to fight Lara instead of Martinez too- I still have my doubts over that though.

Also longtime journeyman turned domestic contender Craig Derbyshire will get a shot at the vacant Commonwealth title against Connor Butler. The fight will take place in Malta.

Good move, I hate when the cards clash. Would definitely prefer Wood fighting Cruz, but looking like it's dead in the water.

Probably just behind the scenes chit chat, but is there any legs in a potential Marku v Brook fight? Worked at a few amateur shoes and it's been mentioned a couple of times. Had to be banter, but I'd be actually intrigued by the fight.

Kell’s been back in the gym but it’s hard to see him ending his retirement for Marku.

I do think there’s a good chance Brook returns next year, he’s definitely getting the itch I think.

I mean at the very least he's fairly durable. Not sure how this is a step up from Sokolowski mind. Could they not get Kash Ali, or Hammer, or someone of that nature?

Bit of a step backwards IMO. Kevin Johnson looked terribly shot the last time I watched him.

Not a good fight at all. 5th (at a push maybe 4th if the third fight’s good) on the card I’ll excuse it, but any higher it’s poor.

Lopez vs Conlan is being rumoured for St Patrick’s day. Unsure whether it will be in the UK or US.
