Press Release

Lewis “The Croc” Crocker, Belfast born and raised, will have a golden opportunity to shine in front of the home fans. Crocker will defend his WBO European welterweight belt in the 10-round main event against Artem Haroyan this Friday, Nov. 5 from Ulster Hall in Belfast.

Promoted by Conlan Boxing, Crocker-Haroyan headlines a bill that will stream live and exclusively in the United States on ESPN+ at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT.

Crocker (13-0, 7 KOs), 24, graduated from prospect to contender last year, knocking out Louis Greene in seven rounds in August 2020 to win the vacant WBO European welterweight strap. He defended that belt in March with a convincing 10-round decision over German stalwart Deniz Ilbay. Haroyan (17-2-1, 9 KOs), from Ashtarak, Armenia, is unbeaten in his last four fights and looking to score the major upset. A former WBA Continental lightweight belt-holder, he is undefeated as a welterweight.

In other streaming action on ESPN+:

Belfast-born super middleweight Padraig “The Hammer” McCrory (12-0, 6 KOs) will make the first defense of his WBC International Silver belt in a 10-rounder against current Swiss champion Celso Neves (8-1-1, 2 KOs). McCrory won his belt in August with a fifth-round TKO over Sergei Gorokhov, while Neves has won three in a row since a decision loss to the then-unbeaten Alexander Rigas.

Belfast’s Sean “The Public Nuisance” McComb (12-1, 5 KOs) looks to turn away the challenge of Scottish veteran Ronnie “The Shark” Clark (21-5-2, 10 KOs) in an eight-rounder at lightweight. McComb lost his unbeaten record in February and hopes to re-establish himself as one of Europe’s top prospects.

Southpaw James McGivern (3-0) looks to make it 4 for 4 in a six-round lightweight fight against Rustem Fatkhullin (8-10, 3 KOs)

Belfast junior middleweight prospect Owen “The Operator” O’Neill (7-0) is scheduled to battle Jordan Lattimer (2-2) in a six-rounder.

Going to stick this on this evening for the last 3 fights.

This bill looks like a typical MTK card that's usually aired on YouTube.

Crocker's a good watch. He can box a bit, entertaining and can whack

Why oh why must be have presenters who clearly know f*ck all about boxing and can only 'present' at the most basic level, asking the most mundane, worn out questions

Paul Ryan didn't waste any time with a whirlwind start....all over in less than a minute !

Sounded like “Paul WARRRAAAAHHHH” won

Bazza Jones on commentary, Clark vs McComb next

Routine 6 rounder between McGivern v Fatkhullin.

McGivern couldn't pin down his opponent or open up his defences.

Shut out points win.

Oh Jees, a ten year old could ask more searching questions than this dopey presenter

Well Barry and the other guy are sh itting the bed with commentary so far….Clark wining the first round the nuisance getting lots of stuff blocked: never rated Barry in any capacity anyway but expected better
