Hometown hero Anthony Crolla can put in an inspired performance

Sky Box Office, from 6pm Saturday

Hometown hero Anthony Crolla heads the Usyk v Bellew undercard in a lightweight world title eliminator, and the Manchester man should be backed to put in an inspired performance against Indonesian Daud Yordan.

Crolla is a former world champion and despite two points defeats to supremely talented Jorge Linares he still has plenty to offer, and a superfight against Vasyl Lomachenko may be on the horizon if he gets past Yordan.

Crolla is 3-10 to win the fight and 8-13 to do it on the scorecards, so consider backing him to get the stoppage at 9-2. He's not known as a massive puncher with only 13 KOs from 40 fights, but his vicious body shots have taken out quality opponents in the past.

Another former world champion Ricky Burns is 1-4 to beat Scotty Cardle in a tasty all-British lightweight bout, while hugely popular heavyweight Dave 'White Rhino' Allen is 2-9 to KO Argentina's Ariel Esteban Bracamonte.
