ORANGE, Calif. - WBA Lightweight Champion Darleys Perez (32-1, 20 KOs) arrived in England over the weekend giving himself roughly one week to settle into a new country before defending his world championship against Anthony Crolla (29-4-2, 11 KOs) in Crolla's hometown of Manchester this Saturday, July 18.
Since losing a close decision to Yuriorkis Gamboa two years ago, Perez has won four in a row. During that span, Perez, who is from Colombia, won the interim title against Argenis Lopez last June. He followed up that win with two successful title defenses, the most recent coming in January against Jonathan Maicelo.
