SPORTS stars and presenters have come out in force to wish Laura Woods a speedy recovery after she suffered a horror injury.
The 36-year-old has had to pull out of hosting tonight’s blockbuster heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Woods was notably absent from coverage of the heated press conference and weigh-ins ahead of tonight’s fight.
And the TNT Sports presenter has revealed she won’t be on screens for a while, having sustained nasty-looking cuts to her face and arm after a freak accident on holiday.
Many celebs have sent their well wishes to Woods, commenting on her shock Instagram post.

Fellow presenter Josh Denzel added: “Get well soon Woodsy!”
BBC host Kelly Somers wrote: “Sending you so much love Laura – get well soon. You can already see the huge improvement, hope it continues to heal well.”

Former Premier League winner John Terry said: “Get well soon.”
Ex-Lionesses ace Jill Scott commented: “Laura hope you’re ok! Wishing you a speedy recovery.”
And her former team-mate and pundit Eni Aluko said: “Gosh! Glad you’re okay. Speedy healing.”
There was also a message from her boyfriend and ex-Love Island star Adam Collard, saying: “Little trooper.”
Woods‘ accident happened while away with Collard as a glass lampshade was smashed above her head, causing it to shatter.
She revealed on Instagram: “Just wanted to explain my absence from the telly for a little while, to be totally transparent and avoid any speculation.
“I had an accident last weekend at a holiday cottage. I swung a pillow and hit a large, glass lampshade hanging from the ceiling above me, which shattered and cut my face and arms, but luckily missed my eye.
“I wanted to say a couple of thank yous, firstly to Adam, for being my hero that day, acting so quickly and not leaving my side since and to his family for taking care of me in a time when I was petrified.
“To my agents Alex Maguire and Matthew Odonohue at CAA who searched for the best help immediately.
“To Dr Yannis Alexandrides and his wonderful medical assistant Zuzanna at 111 who opened their emergency surgery and came in on their days off, they were so gentle and have already worked magic that I didn’t think was possible to reduce the damage.
“I’ve added in the photos from then to now to show that even though it may look rough, it’s such a wonderful improvement already and I’m so grateful.
“It was a hell of a shock and I’ve been a bit sad, but I’m feeling very lucky it wasn’t worse. So a big thanks to my eyebrow too, for taking the brunt of it.
“I’m gutted I can’t cover the fight in Riyadh tomorrow anymore, but wishing the brilliant TNT boxing team all the best. Be back soon xx.”
