Overview
- The rematch was ordered by the IBF after Paddy Donovan’s team appealed the controversial March disqualification.
- Referee Marcus McDonnell ruled Donovan’s finishing punch landed after the bell on March 1, disqualifying him and awarding Lewis Crocker the win.
- DAZN will broadcast from Windsor Park, with the event starting at 7 p.m. BST and ring walks scheduled for about 10:20 p.m. BST.
- Donovan says he felt he won but did not get the result, while Crocker says he feels disrespected and vows an improved performance.
- Strong cross‑border interest is expected, with Crocker fighting near home and large numbers of supporters from the Republic set to travel.
