Woods revealed on Friday night in a heartbreaking tweet that she is unable to attend the match due to a horrific injury she sustained while on vacation with her boyfriend, Adam Collard.
She disclosed that she had inadvertently broken a glass lampshade above her head on Instagram, resulting in cuts to her face and arm, as reported by the Sun.

Nevertheless, Woods feels better and is grateful to everyone who helped her along the way. She even made a bold promise to "be back soon" after thanking them.
Laura’s Instagram post
She posted 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."
