Lewis Crocker Handed Return, June 17 In Belfast
By Elliot Foster
Lewis Crocker has been told the date of his ring return.
The 20-year-old welterweight made a blistering start to his paid career in March, dispatching of Ferenc Jarko in just 67 seconds.
And Crocker will return to the scene of his finest minute-and-a-bit when he makes his comeback later in seven weeks’ time.
He has been confirmed as an addition to promoter Frank Warren’s June 17 card, featuring Jamie Conlan, at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.
The bill will be aired exclusively live on BoxNation and BT Sport, as part of the partnership with Queensberry Promotions, and is set to be topped by Paddy Barnes, Ireland’s three-time Olympian and 2016 flagbearer, as he vies for the vacant WBO European flyweight title against a foe to be confirmed in just his third fight.
Conlan, who rose from the canvas in his last fight against Yader Cardoza to win the vacant WBC International Silver title at super-flyweight, is set for a low-key affair ahead of a potential world title eliminator showdown and the card is also blessed with a cracking all-action lightweight clash between Craig Evans and Stephen Ormond as the Welshman defends his WBO European lightweight belt against the Dubliner.
Further additions –– and ticket details –– will be revealed in due course.
