Derry Mathews
Derry Mathews
has delivered a chilling warning to British lightweight champion Anthony Crolla
(23-2).
The Liverpool
man (29-6-1) challenges for “Million Dollar” Crolla’s cherished Lonsdale belt
at Oldham Sports Centre on Saturday night (April 21).
Mathews warned: “Anthony has never been cut, been floored and got up to win. He is like
John Murray. He comes forward, is very brave but never been hit and that is
what I am going to put to him. I am going to take him to places he has never
been before.”
Mathews,
28, also insists he has not been troubled by a nose injury that has handicapped
him in recent fights. He challenged Gavin Rees for the European crown last
October, but the fight ended in a technical draw because of unlucky Derry’s
broken nose.
Cuts also
played a part in a setback against unbeaten Italian Ermano Marsili in January. 
Mathews
added: “I have had excellent sparring with Alex Arthur and Steve Williams. I
have done over 40 rounds and my nose has held up. I have had it checked by a
surgeon and everything is all right.”
