Crolla vs Lomachenko fight agreed for April 12 world title bout confirms Eddie Hearn

Manchester ace Anthony Crolla (34-6-3, 13KO) has put himself in position to challenge Vasiliy Lomachenko (12-1, 9KO) for his old world title after suffering two back-to-back losses against Jorge Linares in 2016 and 2017.

The bout will take place in Los Angeles’ Staples Center for Loma’s WBA ‘Super’ and WBO lightweight world titles.

‘Million Dollar’ Crolla, 32, bounced back from that brace of defeats to reel off three unanimous decision points wins against high-level opposition, including three-weight world champion Ricky Burns.

Lomachenko to defend WBO/WBA lightweight titles vs Crolla

 Venue : Staples Center, Los Angeles, California, USA

Kick off :  11pm ET  ESPN+

Crolla vs Loma

Lomachenko will be his toughest fight to date, who recently stepped up in weight to take on Crolla’s conqueror Linares and managed to stop him in the 10th round to pick up the WBA world lightweight title.

Ukrainian Vasiliy, known as ‘Hi-Tech’, is currently a unified lightweight world champion, having held the WBA ‘Super’, WBO and Ring magazine titles since 2018, and was previously a WBO featherweight and super-lightweight champion between 2014 and 2018. The record-breaker holds several all-time accolades for winning major world championships in the fewest professional fights: he won a world title in his third professional fight, became a two-weight champion in just his seventh contest, and a three-weight champ in his 12th bout.

Vasiliy Lomachenko to face Anthony Crolla on April 12 in Los Angeles

by

Pound-for-pound king Vasiliy Lomachenko will defend his unified lightweight world title against mandatory challenger Anthony Crolla on April 12 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles after their camps made a deal Tuesday night.

The deal for the fight, which will headline a Top Rank Boxing on ESPN+ card to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the launch of the network’s streaming service, was made between Lomachenko promoter Top Rank and Crolla promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing one day before the promotional rights for the bout were set to be auctioned off at a purse bid at WBA headquarters in Panama City, Panama.

Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti said the card also will include the light heavyweight debut of super middleweight world titlist Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez.

“We thought Loma would be fighting Richard Commey, but because of his hand surgery, a small procedure on a ligament, the focus obviously moved to Loma fulfilling his mandatory against Crolla once that happened. We’ll look to unify the titles with Commey afterward, in the late summer,” Moretti told ESPN on Tuesday night, shortly after the deal with Crolla was made.

Crolla (34-6-3, 13 KOs) won a lightweight world title by fifth-round knockout from Darleys Perez in Manchester in an immediate rematch of a draw four months earlier.

Lomachenko (12-1, 9 KOs), who turned 31 on Sunday, has won world titles in three weight classes. He moved up to lightweight and knocked out Linares in the 10th round in May to win a world title in his third division. On Dec. 8, Lomachenko, a two-time Olympic gold medalist from Ukraine, dropped Jose Pedraza twice in the 11th round en route to a unanimous decision victory to unify two belts.

Joshua vs Miller live stream : Anthony Joshua issues brutal warning to Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller .

Anthony Joshua vowed to “reconstruct” Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller’s face as the war of words between the heavyweight rivals escalated.

Joshua and ‘Big Baby’ came together at a London press conference on Monday that concluded with a tense face-off, though none of the physicality that erupted in New York last week.

“The game-plan is to stop him in seven rounds,” Miller said about his challenge for Joshua’s IBF, WBA and WBO titles on June 1 at Madison Square Garden, AJ vs Miller live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Reminded of last week’s bust-up when he was shoved by Miller, Joshua said: “I loved it. That’s what I live for. He’s just another opponent. Jarrell is a good dance partner.

“I’m not fighting his team or anybody that can speak for him. There won’t be words in the ring. It is a battle of the fittest, a battle of the smartest.”
