British world champion challenges Floyd Mayweather to stadium fight

WBA world featherweight champion Leigh Wood appears to have issued a challenge to Floyd Mayweather for a fight at the City Ground. 

Wood made the offer on social media after the American called for the Nottingham fighter to face 17-year-old Mayweather Promotions prospect Curmel Moston. 

However, with a 12-year age gap between Wood and Moston, this particular fight is unlikely to happen, so instead Wood decided to turn his attention to the former multi-weight world champion. 

"@FloydMayweather You're closer to my age than your prospect is to me. I'll give a few lbs away to dance with a great, you ever been to the city ground?" Wood wrote on X.

Wood returns to action on October 7 live on DAZN when he defends his WBA title against Josh Warrington in Sheffield.
