    Sounds like a great first 3-4 months for Matchroom in the UK with Wood Lara, Cash Williams, Joshua and Smith Arthur.

    Surely Cash v Williams won't headline? That's an undercard fight all day long.

    Yeah IFL asked him this question yesterday and Hearn said it could headline but it’s unlikely. It’s a great fight but I don’t think it appeals to casual fans so headlining won’t sell many tickets in London unless it’s at York Hall.

    I think that should be on an AJ or Canelo undercard. Big exposure and really boosts a PPV card

    Respect to Leigh Wood for taking this fight but I think he is mad for taking a fight like this against a banger given there are a number of bigger / money fights out there for him e.g. Warrington, Conlon, LSC.

    He got out of another hiding with his special move that he showcased against Lee Selby. I like Wood but purely so Warrington can't avoid the hiding he deserves I hope Lara has a statement win.

    Already knocked Conlan out of the ring and destroyed the myth that he is an elite fighter.

    He sure did but the rematch with Conlon would certainly make him some coin.

    It will do but his value drops if he loses to lara Who wud have to be a very good bet for a ko win against wood.

    It’s a tough fight. Great match up for us fans though.
