Anthony Crollas title fight off after sustaining bad injures from burglars

Prizefighter Anthony Crolla's world title hopes dashed after he suffers a broken ankle and a serious head injury tackling burglars - Manchester Evening News

That's a shame but props to him for doing that for his neighbour. Bet him he will be so gutted!

Damn the lad deserved that shot an all action fighter always gives everything & best of all a manc, EH will sort him another title shot I hope.

Smashed a concrete slab over his head as he confronted them.

Seriously bad timing and right on the eve of his world title shot!!

Poor fella

Wonder if he can box again after this?

It must be THE year for UK fighters getting attacked..... Jamie Moore shot multiple times, Kell Brook getting opened up in a vicious knife attack and now this.

I beat you to this one ;)

Had no idea sorry fella :)

Just heard they broke his ankle in 2 places as well.

He chased after them when they ran? Dilemma..hmmm

It's ok mate, it's bad that though. I bet he wishes he just rang the police instead now.

As a professional athlete he should have left it but as a fighter he wanted to get a punch in.

He felt he was doing the right thing, but he paid the price I hope he can fight again.:(

Joe Gallagher reckons its touch n go on if he will box again life's not fair these scumbags robbing houses need all his best mates the smith brothers to pay them a visit.

I don't like him as a boxer but any man who jumps into the fire like that to help out can take a beer out my fridge.

Well played to him, hope he recovers fast and gets his shot.
