The WBA Championships Committee has ruled that current regular featherweight champion Leigh Wood will be granted no further extensions and must face super champion Leo Santa Cruz in his next fight as part of the WBA world title reduction plan.
The WBA had approved a joint permit requested by Matchroom Boxing and TGB Promotions to allow Wood to make an optional defense against Mauricio Lara, and Santa Cruz to fight Rey Vargas in a unification fight. However, Wood pulled out of the Lara fight with a torn bicep and Santa Cruz-Vargas seems to have fallen apart as well. So when when Wood recovers, he must next face Santa Cruz.

The WBA Championships Committee also ordered a clash between WBA minimumweight super champion Thammanoon Niyomtrong and regular champion Erick Rosa. They have 30 days to reach a deal or a purse bid will be called. The winner will be the sole WBA minimumweight champion.
That’s fine. That leaves Vargas without something to do, so when Wood heals up, you can do LSC – Wood and Vargas – Lara on the same card.
Spence-Crawford is starting to get on my last nerve! Watch it fall through on some B.S technicality and we as fans end up with squat!
Simple mind games played by the promoters just to keep our interests in the matchup. It’s all talk and hype until the bell rings for the first round.
It’s already on my last nervePlease both of you sign the fucking contract let’s get this fight going
Reminds me of Floyd vs Manny. If we are lucky we will see it in 2040
Wood running for his life from Leo Santa Cruz? Why? Leo got no pop.
What makes you think Wood is afraid?
Bud’s gonna draw ES into his world. And simply outclass him on a level we’ll never be able to comprehend.
Easy. Peacy.
Supposing that the fight even happens. The arrogance between these two is the only thing that is on a level we’ll never be able to comprehend.

ES really don’t want to Fight Crawford Spence and Crawford had agreed to terms, with Crawford set to earn the short end of the financial split. What’s else Spence Crawford by 11 round TKO I’am not really interested in this fight no more it’s been Errol holding it up all alone
I read on espn that Crawford is the one who is holding up the fight due to spending transparency.
Just don’t let it fall through, I want Spence to KO Crawford.
