LewisCrocker (born 6 January 1997)[1] is a Northern Irish professional boxer who has won numerous European titles at welterweight. Lewis won the WBO European welterweight title in 2020 and currently holds the WBA Continental European Title after defeating Tyrone McKenna in the Battle of Belfast on the 2nd of December 2023.[2]
Amateur boxing in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is governed by the Irish Amateur Boxing Association. As an amateur, Crocker fought out of the Cairn Lodge Boxing Club in Belfast before eventually moving to Holy Trinity in the west of the city. His first major honour came in July 2011, when he represented Ireland in the European Schoolboy Championships. He earned a bronze medal for his efforts.[3] Overall, Lewis had 97 amateur bouts, winning 90.[4] On the way, he won seven All-Ireland junior titles. He also represented Ireland at the European Youth Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2012[5] as well as the World Junior Championships in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2013.[6][7][8] According to Irish Boxing, he holds the record for the quickest knockout in Irish amateur boxing history at under 12 seconds. He won the 2015 Irish Boxing KO of the year for this effort.[9] In 2018, Lewis won a settlement over the Ulster Boxing Council (UBC). The UBC did not select Lewis to represent Ireland in the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games despite a recommendation by the Irish Amateur Boxing Association's head coach for Ulster. Lewis believed he was not picked for the NI Commonwealth Youth Games squad because of his Protestant background or perceived unionist political opinions.[10]
The Mexican boxer will be making his second trip to Belfast and the 31-year-old certainly has a score to settle after losing a unanimous decision to Tyrone McKenna in the Northern Irish capital back in 2021.
