Fans will expect fireworks when Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington meet in a featherweight title fight this weekend. The British pair will clash in a main-event contest in Sheffield, where Wood puts his WBA belt on the line. The fight marks the first defence of the Nottingham boxer’s second title reign, after he lost then regained the title in back-to-back duels with Mauricio Lara this spring. Wood, 35, was stopped by the Mexican in February but outpointed Lara three months later. Warrington also has recent history with Lara, having suffered a TKO loss to him in 2021 before the pair drew their rematch later that year, when a clash of heads derailed the bout. Warrington, 32, bounced back from those results by stopping old rival Kiko Martinez last March, but he was beaten by Luis Alberto Lopez in December. Those fights marked the start and end of the Leeds boxer’s second reign as IBF featherweight champion. Here’s all you need to know about Saturday’s main event.

A hotel worker has urged people to stop using the free products in their holiday accommodation. In a viral TikTok that's caught the attention of over a million people, the woman told people to avoid the shampoo, conditioner and body wash. "Here's your tip. Don't ever use these," she said, "Why? Because they're not secure." The woman unscrewed the lids of the full-sized bottles, demonstrating to TikTokers just how easy it is for guests to add their own substances. "They can put hair colour, bleach, anything in these. Don't ever use these," she reiterated. "I always bring my own when travelling," she continued. "If you don't bring your own, always call down to the front desk and ask for a fresh set or even the mini ones." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter @travelinghotelmanager Visit TikTok to discover videos! The footage was soon inundated with comments from fellow TikTokers. "I miss the days of the minis being the standard," one person wrote. "I hate the shared bottles." A second added: "I have always said this. I have a fear of someone putting hair remover in the bottle." Meanwhile, a third commented: "Been in the business for 16 years and these have become quite popular over the last several years." In another travel TikTok from a separate user, a flight attendant reiterated similar warnings before exposing other areas and items she would generally steer clear of. The hotel ice bucket is apparently a big no-no. "I’ve heard people have done the unmentionables in those, so just use the little plastic bag," she told her 13,000 viewers. The TikToker concluded with advice to take an anti-bacterial spray to give furniture and other items a clean down. She went on to tell people to avoid using some coffee machines as they're difficult to clean out, along with the cups that are not wrapped in plastic. Have your say in our news democracy.
