Lewis Crocker returns to the ring this week and faces Liam Paro.
Paro is Crocker’s first defense IBF welterweight world title.
He has been out of the ring since September 2025, when he appeared in the long-awaited rematch with Paddy Donovan.
After falling behind before the first fight was stopped due to Donovan’s disqualification, he entered the second fight as an underdog.
“The Croc” put on a great performance and proved the bookies wrong by taking down and dropping Donovan multiple times throughout the fight.
With the victory, Crocker became the IBF world champion in his hometown of Belfast.
His opponent, Paro, has only one defeat to his name. It came against Richardson Hitchins in 2024, when he was on the wrong side of a split decision.
Since that loss, he has picked up two victories, defeating Jonathan Navarro and most recently David Papot, who will be Harlem Eubank’s next opponent in July.
Crocker vs Paro – date, place, start time and ring walk
- The pairs fight will take place on Wednesday, June 24, live from the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, Australia

Ryan Garner moved one step closer to world honors at the home of his beloved Southampton FC, winning the WBC interim super featherweight title following a big-point victory over Michael Magnesi on the South Coast.
Collect it started well, pinning Magnesi to the ropes in the opener.
He landed an eye-catching hook in the second round. Magnesi enjoyed a solid third goal though as both men had forceful shots.
Magnesi’s best round was the fourth, which he finished forceful, but Garner landed in the fifth and continued to dominate the half.
Garner seemed unfazed and immediately went back on the offensive, hitting the Lazio player twice in a row in the fifth round.
Garner actually slowed down after half the distance, but in the ninth period he got his second wind when he went on the attack and somehow managed to finish the round.
From that moment on, the Italian was in survival mode and after some difficulties he reached the final gong, where the result was beyond doubt.
Scores of 119-109, 118-110 and 116-112 secured the title for Garner.
