Crocker vs. Donovan 2: How to Watch Tonight’s Historic All-Irish Title fight
Boxing fans in the UK will have their eyes on Windsor Park tonight as Gary Crocker and Padraig Donovan clash in a highly anticipated rematch with the IBF welterweight world title on the line – the first-ever all-Irish world title fight. The bout comes just over six months after a controversial ending to their first encounter, and promises a thrilling night of action.
The vacant title became available after Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis moved up to super-welterweight earlier this summer, elevating this second meeting from a final eliminator to a championship showdown. Donovan was leading on all three judges’ scorecards and had scored a knockdown in their initial fight before being disqualified in the eighth round for a punch after the bell, a decision his camp immediatly appealed.
Tonight’s fight offers Donovan a chance to avenge the controversial loss and claim his first world title. Crocker, meanwhile, will be looking to capitalize on the possibility and become a world champion in his own right.
An extensive undercard features Caoimhin Agyarko, Ishmael Davis, former Team GB Olympian Pat Brown, and the professional boxing debut of ex-UFC star Molly McCann.
