other this summer, with the winner likely to get another world

for global honours, but hope to get back in the frame with a
victory over 10 rounds.
They will meet at the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey on

British lightweight champion Anthony Crolla says that he's
ignoring the form book and preparing himself for the very best
Derry Mathews.
25-year-old Crolla has been looking like his 'Million Dollar'
nickname in the last couple of years, while Mathews comes into
their April 21 meeting without a win in his last two outings.
But the domestic ruler from Manchester is adamant that recent
results count for nothing and he can't afford to take a clash with
the self-styled "Dirty" Derry ...
