Boxer and Nottingham Forest fan Leigh Wood says it would "give me my own identity" to headline at the City Ground.

Two-time world champion Wood has recently vacated his WBA featherweight title as he moves into the super featherweight division. He is now looking ahead to what's next, and has his eyes firmly set on a fight on the banks of the Trent.

While Wood admits that fellow Nottingham man Carl Froch did "unbelievable things" he will not be able to match, he is well aware that Froch never headlined a fight card at the City Ground. That would allow Wood to put his own stamp on things, he says.

"Carl Froch did unbelievable things for our city, and he did a lot of things I won't do," Wood told BBC Radio Nottingham. "He headlined at Wembley, he changed the game for fighters coming through - it was 80,000 [fans watching], if you didn't know about it. He hit that gate. That is an unbelievable feat for a fighter to do.

"He achieved a lot of things in the sport, but for me to have have my own little stamp on my career, and to give me my own identity, there is nothing better than to be the first person to headline at the City Ground.

"It is very personal for me. I have a lot of good relationships at the club, I've been a fan for a long time and I know when I walk out to Mull of Kintyre at the City Ground, it will be something I will never witness again."
