Lewis Crocker celebrates victory over Paddy Donovan

Northern Ireland’s world welterweight champion Lewis Crocker is in line for a blockbuster showdown at the O2 Arena in London against Conor Benn next year, with a mouth-watering title fight versus the legendary Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas another option.

Crocker has the world at his feet with big money contests on the horizon after winning the IBF belt at a packed Windsor Park last month, beating Limerick’s Paddy Donovan on points in a split decision.
