Leigh Wood gained revenge on Mauricio Lara by unanimous decision as he won the WBA featherweight title with an impressive display in Manchester.

The Mexican produced a sluggish display in contrast to Wood's clever, dominant performance to regain his title.

Wood knocked down Lara in round two, and never looked in trouble thereafter.

The judges scored it 118-109, 116-111 and 118-109 in his favour.
