Belfast – Promoter Eddie Hearn admits that it is unlikely that the winner of the Saturday fight of Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan will end the challenge of Jaron Ennis for IBF.

Ennis is fighting WBA Beltholder Eimantas Stanionis in April, and Crocker-Donovan is the eliminator of the Philadelphia Championships.

But only because Ennis is heading in a different direction, it does not mean that there is not much on the line for the Saturday winner at the SSE arena in Belfast.

“So, when Boots fights with Stanionis, the winner will receive a letter with information that you have to fight Paddy Donovan or Lewis Crocker, whoever wins,” explained Hearn. “And it is very likely that the shoes decide not to fight this person because he will go to 154, or ask to release from the fight with another master, which will probably be awarded. But then there will be no layoffs and it is very likely that the winner of this fight will fight for a free title. And when you look at the rankings, it is very likely that it will be a fight that you can bring to Ireland. If it’s Crocker, it is very likely that he can fight for the title of World Championships in Odyssey, the World Cup Championships. This is a huge title to win. And if it is Paddy, there is a good chance that we could bring a substantial fight to the south of Ireland and try something wild, and he could fight for the championship of the world -class weight. If you win this belt, you put yourself in a position for Haney, Garcia, Teofimo, all the life changing fights, so it will be really intriguing to see what will happen. But without a crocker, who will now be the headline in Northern Ireland? You can do good nights for fighting … Crocker is not a star yet to fill the arena with anyone. He does it against Paddy, because it is a great fight and everyone is buying north-south, Belfast-Limerick, but if he wins, he has the opportunity to fill him in huge fights. “

It is a fight that captured the imagination, and 8,000 fans will pack a place in Fight Night. Donovan-Crocker is not yet well-established stars, but the chemistry they created and the energy of the fight is concrete.

“It’s quite unusual, undefeated, in their absolute splendor, it is very true and you often don’t see it,” added Hearn. “Both have teams that think their man is insurmountable in this fight. You have Billy Nelson and some may sometimes call him a little illusive, but he is sold 100 percent that Lewis Crocker will pass through Paddy Donovan. Andy Lee is the biggest fan of Paddy Donovan on the planet, so normally in such a fight, you would think that he might think: “What about another route?” Or people, especially they both come from Ireland, do not tend to do so, because there are many on the line with the rights to brag. If you lose this fight, you have a future for now, but not at the world level. “

With this in mind, Hearn was clearly impressed by the state in which Donovan, in which he appears, but also delights with Crocker’s weighty hands.

“I think Paddy will be razor. I think it looks in an unbelievable form, “added Hearn. “There are two paddys, right? There is a fallen, who was in Belfast in Belfast, when we did a miniature show, a four -week termination, a bit plump. Still flashy, but then he gets a little tired, and then there is the devered one who probably trained out of the respect of Lewis Crocker, knowing that it was a real fight. I think Lewis is a substantial blow. “

He tactically said that the best Donovana plant is Bivol to make Crocker’s Beterbiv.

“Lewis’s style is more like Beterbiev, come, go down, huge painful shots land, but you have to catch him, and Paddy is very slippery,” said Hearn. “And if he enters his flow in five or six rounds, it will be easier for him to choose a fight, and he can put his foot on gas. I think that a lot will depend on how Lewis has Paddy Donovan at the beginning of the fight. He can’t lose missiles and get six celebrations and have four or five down, because Paddy will start in his flow, and then he frustrated, then you will load, and then the fight can leave you. ”

There are several intriguing fights in the series, in which Irish fans got involved in the bill. With this in mind, probably the place will be full long before the main event.

Between Craig Richards and Nadzie McCrora and Nadzie McCrora.

“I tell you where the loser is going; done. Ready – said Hearn. “But I know Craig Richards. Both guys move a little. And if Craig doesn’t win in this fight, I don’t see him continue. Nasty, even after [Edgar] Berlanga Fight, he thought: “Well, I had a great run.” Now, if he is defeated, he finished or ended near the world level. Craig, you have some bad performance against Willy Hutchinson, a few signs of questions, both great puncher. I think it will be a really good fight and I think the winner may get a smith calum, a [Anthony] Yarde fight or Lyndon Arthur fight. You intend to put yourself on a great British or European duel and a great payment day. This is a struggle to stay alive. This is reality.

“So you have Kurt Walker against Leon Woodstock, it’s a really good fight and get ready for the bell, Shauna Browne, fights with Elif Nur Turhan from Turkey, whose team haunted me for two years. When I tell you that it will be a 10-rund war … Shauna Browne will not go back, it is as strenuous as elderly shoes, this Elif Turhan does not cease to appear. Huge puncher. And then you have [Ruadhan] Farrell-[Gerard] Hughes rematch, they will get together, it’s a really good box of boxing. “
