ANTHONY Crolla will face Darleys Perez in a rematch for the WBA World Lightweight title at the Manchester Arena on November 21.

The duo clashed in July, when Perez kept his title with a majority draw - despite a tremendous performance from Crolla.

The WBA granted the Chadderton-based fighter a second crack at the Colombian, and promoter Eddie Hearn completed the deal with ‘Million Dollar’ once again facing the champion in front of a his passionate home crowd.

“I'm so pleased for Anthony that he gets another bite of the cherry on November 21 in his home city,” said Hearn. “I haven't found anyone yet who didn't feel he won the first fight, but that’s in the past now and he has to make this count. I feel he is destined to win a world title and on November 21 on a huge night for Manchester and British boxing, I truly believe his dreams will come true.”
