Anthony Crolla
Rising British boxing star, Anthony Crolla, was
viciously attacked in a home invasion near his property in
Manchester, England. It is thought he stumbled upon a burglary
happening in the vicinity of his property. Crolla was due to fight
fellow boxer, Richar Abril, in January 2015 for the WBA lightweight
title, but due to the severe head injury and broken ankle he
sustained in the burglary, the fight has been cancelled. Crolla was
hospitalized with a fractured skull, after he was hit over the head
with a concrete slab. The Judiciary Report wishes him a speedy
recovery.

Crolla is the second Matchroom boxer to be attacked
in the past few months, in what is a disturbing pattern. He is also
the third boxer to be attacked in the past few months, in acts that
resulted in the cancellation of a Matchroom fight. Boxers, Kell Brook and Jamie Moore, were attacked in Spain in separate incidents,
while on vacation. Now Crolla has been attacked at home. One has to
wonder if the company is being targeted due to its success and
rising status in the boxing world. Be safe.
