The pair clash for the WBA international title at Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena with neither shy of confidence.

Ireland’s Crocker boasts an unblemished 19-fight professional record which includes 11 knockouts, while Walker is riding the crest of the wave after stopping both Cyrus Pattinson and Lloyd Germain inside the distance in his last two bouts.

The Black Country Boxing-managed ace is now promising to deliver a “one-sided beatdown” when he faces Crocker, words which have clearly raised the hackles of his opponent, who has promised to send the 29-year-old “back to the small halls”.
