Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan sit down face to face – with no mediator and no host – in Matchroom Boxing’s Cards on the Table series. They fight again, this time for the IBF welterweight title, on September 13, 2025, at Windsor Park.
The two Irishmen had a controversial meeting on March 1, 2025, when Donovan was disqualified for an after-the-bell punch that decked Crocker. The IBF accepted the foul was unintentional and ordered a rematch, this time for the vacant title.
The first ever Irishman vs Irishman world title fight is set for September 13, 2025, at Windsor Park.

Did you hear the bell? Yes or no? Probably the most question I’ve been asked since the fight. Uh, usually they talk about me winning, but this time was, uh, did I hear the bell? No, I never heard the bell. Obviously the punch was after the bell. When you look back at it, you can’t deny that. But being in that arena that night, that atmosphere um, was electric. It’s It was hard to hear anything, and you should know that firsthand. Being in a in a professional boxing ring, everything seems to go silent. intentional? Definitely not, especially winning the fight. But the answer to your question, I never heard of that.

The bots are ridiculous with this one. It’s a fucking clip not a work of art you weirdo
Did you try to find a way out with the help of the referee after getting knocked out fair and square yes or no
First comment😂😂Only messing…I'm not one of those divvys…Why does Crocker have a British Flag but Donovan has Irish flag, Is that the Northern Ireland and all that nonsense…Does that still go on…Time to move on lads, We have a bigger fight from overseas on our hands…Is that why that fight was one of the best atmosphere's I have witnessed in boxing full stop…It was BANGIN!!…I look forward to the rematch but it's only going one way and that's a Donovan Win…Might put a tena on Crocker just for the crazy odds and a lucky ko punch.🥊🇬🇧
Btec Ibiza final boss
Donovan had already been deducted a point in the sixth and eighth round for using his head. Fairness seems to be difficult for him. This does not necessarily mean that his statement about the bell is a lie, but it must be allowed to be questioned.
Has he got the Rolex logo as an earring
Great pod also cant wait for u to finish ortega
He was wining the fight 😂 he heard the bell just did it anyways he will win again
He done an interview admitting to hearing the bell, knew his opponent was Joey so went for the finish😂😂😂 pity as he was heading towards a clear win
Shouldn’t the ref jump in at the bell?
Crocker hanging on to hitting after the bell, you were outclassed either way focusing on that just makes you look desperate.
I haven't seen rematch yet but I have a great feeling you k.o,ed him
Hopefully a 3rd fight when comfortably the best fighter will get the right decision this time.
