It was a right hand which ended the fight. There's worry for Conlan who is being attended to by medical staff.
Wood and his team mute their celebrations and ask their fans to do the same.

Round 12published at 23:42 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2022
There is no let up by either fighter. They are swinging hard. Both going for the stoppage! Fight of the year. I'm calling it!! Wood has Conlan backed up. Halfway through the round.

Australian boxer on BBC Radio 5 LiveThere was a clear scoring punch so you can't fault the referee in that sense. It counts as a knockdown.

Round 11 - Conlan flooredpublished at 23:40 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2022
Conlan at times has traded when he hasn't needed to. But he knows he's not far away from achieving a boyhood dream of becoming world champion.
He lands with two solid left hooks! Wood is a standing target.
MY WORD! CONLAN IS DROPPED!!! TRAINER ADAM BOOTH AND CONLAN ARE BOTH INSISTING IT WAS A SLIP. DRAMA!!

BBC Sport at the Motorpoint Arena, NottinghamWe’re only in March but this will definitely be in the running for fight of the year later in 2022.
Wood’s best rounds have been the last three, throwing nine or ten punches in a frantic spell, landing at least seven of them.
However, Conlan has a huge cushion to work with after his earlier dominance. Wood has to finish this inside the distance or his title will be heading to Belfast.

We enter the championship rounds. This is one of the best scraps I've seen in a very long time.

Boxing commentator on BBC Radio 5 LiveLeigh Wood, irrepressible, pouring forward. A good portion of the round for the champion. Michael Conlan is bobbing and weaving but is catching an awful lot of these shots!
Round 10published at 23:36 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2022
Not for the first time, both fighters clash heads.
Wood just can't evade that swinging left from Conlan. He must be landing that shot three or four times each round.
As the boxers get in close they trade punches to the body. Wood nods to appreciate a solid left hook.
Wood enjoys a brilliant end to the round, landing several shots with Conlan, breathing heavily, on the ropes.

Australian boxer on BBC Radio 5 LiveConlan was just walking Leigh Wood onto that shot. I can't believe Wood keeps walking onto that looping Conlan left hand.

Boxing commentator on BBC Radio 5 LiveLeigh Wood is continuing to press but have little success. Conlan is tying Wood up and walks him back to ring centre. The counter right jab from Conlan is exquisite.
Round ninepublished at 23:31 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2022
Two trademark lefts land from Conlan in the first 20 seconds of the round. Then three straight jabs a minute in. After the previous round which may well have been scored for Wood, Conlan comes back with a beautiful display of boxing.
Wood looks frustrated as Conlan ties up the champion on the ropes.
Quality counter right from Wood as the bell rings. Another round of pure entertainment.
