Leigh Wood has withdrawn from his title defence against Mauricio Lara because of an injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Briton, 34, was due to defend his WBA ‘regular’ featherweight title on 24 September in Nottingham.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The fight will be rearranged, but the card will go ahead with Maxi Hughes v Kid Galahad now the main event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scottish world champion Hannah Rankin is also scheduled to defend her WBA super-welterweight title against Terri Harper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matchroom chairman Eddie Hearn confirmed Wood had suffered a torn bicep.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re gutted to lose such an explosive headliner in Leigh Wood vs. Mauricio Lara so close to fight week but unfortunately Leigh suffered a torn bicep during sparring and there’s no way he can get in the ring against such a dangerous opponent with only one arm,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
