Fight Camp Week 1: Xu Can v Leigh Wood (Undercard and Main Card)
Mark Robinson/Matchroom BoxingWith Conor Benn forced to withdraw from his fight against Adrian Granados at Fight Camp on Thursday due to a positive COVID test, organisers had no reason to worry about a replacement event. Can Xu's chief support position against Leigh Wood was immediately elevated to top spot and the featherweight pair are both promising to deliver fireworks.
Xu has built himself a repuation as a relentless warrior who throws a huge volume of punches in all of his fights. That style has placed him at the business end of the featherweight division and he fully intends on staying there. Nottingham's Wood brings power to the battle but will his lack of experience at the highest level be his downfall against the energetic Chinese fighter? We'll know all the answers soon enough.
