Lewis Crocker will face Conah Walker in a boxing match at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on June 22nd. This fight attracts attention due to both fighters being at their peak, with engaging combat styles and impressive records: Crocker at 19-0 with 11 KOs and Walker at 13-2-1 with 5 KOs.
This match is expected to be intense and high-quality because of the boxers' characteristics. Crocker is known for his powerful, crowd-pleasing style, while Walker is celebrated for his persistence and aggression in the ring.
Walker has expressed confidence ahead of the fight, stating that “We don’t need to sell the fight. It sells itself.” He also acknowledges the uncertainty of facing a formidable opponent like Crocker by adding, “Is he the toughest fight of my career? Maybe. Who knows." He stresses the unpredictability of the outcome depending on Crocker's performance on the night.
Responding, Crocker shares his perspective: "When this fight got announced, the whole public said it was a war." He admits that despite having the capability to outbox Walker,—“I could easily outbox this guy, honestly,"—he anticipates a relentless battle as both have predicted a toe-to-toe clash from start to finish.
Walker aims to use this bout as leverage toward more significant fights in his career. His recent performances include noticeable wins against Cyrus Pattinson in round eight and Lloyd Germain in round three but also depict losses such as against Samuel Antwi during an English title bid in 2022.
Conversely, Crocker's focus remains sharp following successes like his breakthrough win over Tyrone McKenna last December, establishing him further within the public's eye despite an overshadowed victory where he missed weight by three pounds against Jose Felix.
