History beckons as Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan are set to square off for the IBF welterweight belt on September 13 at Belfast's Windsor Park, the first instance of two Irish boxers fighting for a world title.

The pair first faced off in an eliminator fight at the SSE Arena in March, with the Belfast boxer Crocker winning in controversial circumstances after Donovan was disqualified in the eighth round by referee Marcus McDonnell.
