Anthony Crolla travels from his Manchester base in a state of shock after receiving a phone call to fight one of the best in the business. The 32-year-old Brit is no stranger to the major bouts, of course, but a meeting with Lomachenko represents a real step up in standard and Crolla will have to go through two or three divisions from what he is used to.
Million Dollar makes the trip with a professional record showing 36 wins against six defeats and three draws. Of his victories, 13 have come inside the distance, so it’s fair to say he’s not a fighter who carries concussive punch power and that has proven to be his undoing at the top level. Despite losing six times already, only one man has managed to stop Crolla and that was Derry Matthews way back in 2012 when the pair met for the British lightweight title in Oldham, the beaten warrior halted in six after suffering a cut early in the contest.
This bout will be worlds apart from losing to Matthews in Oldham but Crolla has worked his way to the top, refusing to be knocked down by set-backs and maintaining an unwavering level of self-belief and confidence that tells him he belongs in the big fights. A glittering career has led to him collecting a clutch of titles, fighting on the biggest domestic shows. The majority of British fans love him and it’s no surprise to see many will follow their man to America.
