Ricky Burns battles Anthony Crolla October 7

By Daily Sports on August 8, 2017

Former world champions Ricky Burns (41-6-1, 14 KOs) and Anthony Crolla (31-6-3, 13 KOs) will be facing each other on October 7 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

With both fighters coming off of defeats, this is an opportunity for the fighters to redeem their image and warm themselves into the heart of their fans.

Career-wise, they’re in a tough situation with the huge amount of talent in their respective divisions. Crolla and Burns must win this fight to keep their careers alive.

Burns was whipped by Julius Indongo in his last fight on April 15 while Crolla was recently out-boxed by Jorge Linares in losing a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision on March 25 in Manchester.

“All I want to do is be involved in big fights and Ricky Burns is a three weight world champion. I’ve got a lot of respect for him. He’s a great fighter and only lost to the very best,” said Crolla to skysports.com. I’m not going to say the loser has nowhere to go, but it’s going to be a tough road back.”
