Anthony Crolla will battle Jorge Linares in a rematch at Manchester Arena on March 25, live on Sky Sports.

The 30-year-old lost his WBA lightweight title in an exciting points defeat to Linares in September, but can swiftly regain his belt in an immediate return bout.

Linares won by one and two-point margins on two of the judges' scorecards and Crolla is confident he can swiftly avenge this loss in a second fight, with The Ring Magazine belt also at stake.

I think Linares is a level above Crolla, if he can up his game he could stop him.

I agree. I like Crolla, he's got the mentality. He just wants to fight the best and fight the best in the division.

Retirement fight for Crolla

Gonna be a good fight again.
