Crocker vs. Donovan II Brings First All‑Irish World Title Fight to Sold‑Out Windsor Park Tonight

An IBF mandate following Donovan’s March disqualification now sets their Belfast rematch to crown a vacant welterweight champion.

Overview

  • The IBF ordered the rematch after Donovan’s appeal of the first bout, and Jaron Ennis vacating the belt opened the path to a title on the line.
  • DAZN will stream the event to an expected crowd near 20,000 at Windsor Park, with main event ring walks slated for around 10–10:20 pm BST.
  • Both fighters made weight at Friday’s ceremonial event and exchanged final verbal shots during a heated face‑off in Belfast.
  • Their initial meeting in March ended with Donovan disqualified for punching after the eighth‑round bell, a controversial finish that prompted the review.
  • Chief support includes Caoimhin Agyarko vs. Ishmael Davis, the McKenna–Moran rematch, the Irish super‑bantamweight title bout Farrell–Boreland, and Molly McCann’s professional boxing debut.
