Lewis Crocker (born 6 January 1997)[1] is a professional boxer from Northern Ireland.

Amateur career

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 before eventually moving to Holy Trinity in the West of the City. Crockers first major honor came in July 2011, when he represented Ireland in the European Schoolboy Championships. He earned a Bronze Medal for his efforts[2]. Overall, Lewis had 97 amateur bouts winning 90 [3]. On the way he won an impressive 7 All-Ireland junior titles. He also represented Ireland at the European Youth Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2012 [4] as well as competing in the World Junior Championships in Kiev, Ukraine in 2013 [5][6][7]. According to Irish Boxing, he has the quickest KO in Irish amateur Boxing history with a inside 12 second knockout. He won the 2015 Irish Boxing KO of the year for this effort [8]. 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 his recommendation by Irish Amateur Boxing Association's head coach for Ulster [9].

Professional career

Crocker made his professional debut on 10 March 2017, scoring a first-round technical knockout (TKO) victory over Ferenc Jarko at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast.[10]
