Lewis Crocker returns to the ring this week as he takes on Liam Paro.
Paro marks Crocker’s first defence of his IBF welterweight world title.
He has been out of the ring since September 2025, when he headlined against Paddy Donovan in a highly-anticipated rematch.
After being behind on the cards before the first fight was halted due to Donovan’s disqualification, he came into the second bout as the underdog.
‘The Croc’ put in a great showing and proved the oddsmakers wrong, beating and dropping Donovan multiple times throughout the fight.
The win saw Crocker become IBF world champion in his home city of Belfast.
His opponent, Paro, has just one loss on his record, which came against Richardson Hitchins in 2024 when he was on the wrong end of a split decision.
Since that defeat, he has picked up two wins, beating Jonathan Navarro and, most recently, David Papot — the latter being the next opponent of Harlem Eubank in July.
