TITLE DREAM Irish fighter Donovan has big plans for the IBF belt
PADDY DONOVAN is confident he can take down Conor Benn and anyone else at welterweight.
‘The Irishman fights for the IBF title in the 10st 7lb division against Belfast boxer Lewis Crocker at Windsor Park tomorrow night.
Donovan, 26, is trained by former world champion Andy Lee and tipped for the top.

“Tcan'tsit there and lie to you and say that welterweight is closed off and there are some amazing fighters,’ said Donovan.
