Liam Paro W12 Lewis Crocker... Australia's Liam Paro is now a two-division champion after winning a thrilling  unanimous decision victory over Lewis Crocker in Brisbane, Australia. Paro wrested the IBF welterweight title away from Crocker by three scores of 115-113. Now 28-1, Paro held the IBF junior welterweight title in 2024, defeating Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico and then losing his first defense to Richardson Hitchins by split decision. According to Australia's Daily Telegraph, Paro's performance "will go down in history as one of the gutsiest efforts in a world title challenge in Australian boxing – and a contender for fight of the year." Paro joins the great Jeff Fenechas the only Australian men to win world titles in multiple weight classes, according to the Daily Telegraph. (Fenech was a three-dvision champion). Crocker, a warrior in his own right, returns home to Belfast in Northern Ireland with the first loss of his 23-fight career.
