Boxer Clinton Woods faces Jason DeLisle again
Sheffield boxer Clinton Woods wants to show his first-round knockdown by Jason DeLisle in 2004 was a fluke when he faces the Australian fighter again on Saturday.
IBF light heavyweight titleholder Clinton Woods, 34, was floored by Jason DeLisle in their non-title bout before going on to stop him in the final round.
"He's confident because he put me down but we'll see how it goes," Clinton Woods said.
"I'm looking forward it. Training's been good, I've had no injuries and I feel fit and strong," Clinton Woods added.
Due to a lack of opponents for Clinton Woods a rematch with Jason DeLisle has been allowed and the pair meet at Sheffield's Ponds Forge.
"People are going to say it's a no-win fight and ask why I'm fighting him again.
"I'm fighting him again because there was no-one else in the top 15 available. A few said yes then pulled out a week later.
"We had to get a fight because I hadn't fought for eight months."
Clinton Woods has found a new lease of life since he began working with a nutritionist before the first Jason DeLisle bout.
The Clinton Woods v Jason DeLisle fight is on the undercard of Ricky Hatton's WBA welterweight contest with Luis Collazo in Boston.
