\u201cThis is a monumental occasion \u2014 the first ever all-Irish World Title fight,\u201d said Crocker\u2019s manager Jamie Conlan. \u201cThe controversy surrounding the first bout, combined with the fact that it\u2019s taking place at Windsor Park, takes an already massive fight and makes it truly historic.<\/p>\n
\u201cLewis Crocker lives just a stone\u2019s throw from Windsor and has followed Linfield Football Club since he was a boy, so for his first World Title fight to be held at the stadium is something out of a dream. This isn\u2019t just a fight \u2014 it\u2019s a moment in Irish boxing history, and Lewis is ready to seize it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irish FA Chief Executive, Patrick Nelson, said: \u201cLive sport unites communities across Northern Ireland, and we\u2019re thrilled to build on the success of our previous boxing event in August 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud to be partnering with Matchroom in hosting this world championship bout that not only showcases top-tier boxing but also highlights the versatility of the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park as a multi-purpose venue.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first battle ended in highly controversial fashion, and I can\u2019t wait to see them run it back \u2013 this time for world honours,\u201d said Alfie Sharman VP DAZN. \u201cIt was a brilliant back and forth in front of an electric crowd. The rematch promises so much more. I expect Donovan to bring that same energy and Crocker to be better than before. It has all the makings of a classic.
